I'm not a big fan of layering with the purpose of cramming a track into a synth. Anyway, I can give you a tip on the faders thing. They're also small in Logic. I always place a Gain module last insert on a track (Last on program strip in Falcon's case) and make a careful levels "pre-balance" so the mix sounds already OK with all the faders at zero.c_voltage wrote: Mixer page it's damn cool thing. I remember M5 days when did make full ambient track in single plugin patch thru mixer page, very conveniently. The only thing, would be good add ability to resize ie pull out by height for mixer's faders. They a much squeezed by height. It's could be standard freely resizable, or some fixed switching between few heights. Would be good.
Then I know I'll need no more than +/- 3dB adjustments at the "fine tuning" stage (command-drag for fine increments in Falcon).
Depending on each one's personal OCD, in my case if I have to go over 3dB with the fader then I go back to the gain insert and adjust from there
