While i'm neither audio expert nor electronic guru, i do expect an amplifier and a fader to have quite different analog electronic circuitry. It just happens so that both operations on digital audio are the same operation - multiplication - and can be achieved by the same knob. -- Hannes _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
