Suppose you have *real* faders which have a range of 127 mm. That's not far from a typical size on a pro mixer. Would you ever adjust them by half a millimeter ? 127 steps, provided they are mapped well, and zipper noise is avoided by interpolation or filtering, should be enough. The real problem is that many SW mixers * don't use a good mapping, * and don't have any other gain controls. The latter may force you to use the fader in a range where it has bigger steps. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
