I'm in holiday (Crete, diving), but feel compelled to add this to the discussion: Metering post-fader is of no value at all to users who know what they are doing, and possibly just confusing to others. Metering downto -144 dB is complete nonsense. If you want to improve this app, make both the faders and meters *fixed size*, select that fixed size so it matches the real resolution of the faders well, so we can finally have a *reliable* gain setting for this chipset.
