The final gui is more like this:meloco_go wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 10:00 am Mouse modifier would be fine, especially if it is possible to make a floating notification describing it. I wonder if that would work across all the various DAWs though? Maybe it is simpler to add a small lock/unlock icon between pre/post areas? I get the point on avoiding clutter, but is that really that much of a problem? I am not an expert on image manipulation but here's the crude mockup of what I am talking about (I don't have a DAW installed on the PC I am using ATM, so I grabbed the picture from the website, so it's smallish).
Keyboard modifiers for mouse movement are absolutely ok and easy to receive from all DAWs. I don't want to add a permanent mode that would switch the behaviour of a knob because then automation behaviour would change depending on if that button is down or not, which I think is a bad workflow.
From my point of view adding a new trimpot called PAD would be a better option, since I already have such a thing on The Drop. Problem is most people think The Drop is too complicated since there are too many knobs! This is such a common task that I feel DAWs should be onto it instead, I think it would be great to have a little pre / post / headroom / trim / pad knob for each plugin in the signal chain so you could make fine tunes to the sound without even having to open all the plugins in the chain.
