Adding a log2() and a multiplication doesn't seem like much of a pain compared to the rest. Anyway, the current scale is completely wrong so I wonder why it was added, and it's not the one you need either - you don't have enough data to indicate down to -120. The range should be down to -40 or so. Even that will take steps in the lower range that are larger than one pixel. > Note that the original meters essentially used the same value-to-pixel > mapping for the peak meters -- they just didn't tell you that > half-scale was -6dB.

I just don't believe that GTK can't create a slider without these detents (which don't work well either). It would be utterly broken.

Ciao, -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline.
