I've found that, when one raises or lowers the preamp setting, not all
frequencies are amplified or attenuated to the same degree; the base is
affected more than the treble. If I recall correctly, this is what is meant
by non-linear amplification. Also, as I seem to recall from my study of tube
theory (almost forty years ago), there are physical reasons why analog
devices, such as CRTs, behave in this fashion.
But, in a digital world, why is this behavior preserved? Wouldn't it be
possible to design a digital preamp such that the entire frequency range is
amplified or attenuated to the same degree, as one raises or lowers the
graphical slider control? Can anyone explain this, in not too technical
terms. (As I said, it's been almost forty years since I studied this stuff,
back when transistors had been around only as long as digital technology has
been nowadays.)
Thanks.

that's Dana, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A
If your synthesizer pronounces them identically, instruct your customized
pronunciation dictionary that Dana=dayna.
