Dear Blue Cat,

Blue Cat's Gain could be truly awesome if it had a 3rd Link option - crossfade.
(not that it's not awesome now but this would elevate it to another level)

The "Reverse" setting just doesn't work** for trying to set up a crossfade between sets of tracks.
The gain setting and crossfading are wrong (range should be 0/+3/+6 to -60 and be modifiable), there should be an adjustable crossfade (both the db and crossfade point), etc.

**currently you can spend a lot of time futzing with settings and almost come up with something usable - key word 'almost' - as the crossfade will always be wonky, working range of knob limited, etc..

I am not aware of a plugin by another developer that will let you crossfade whole groups of tracks.
Maybe even come out with a Blue Cat Gain Pro version that has this feature.

Have you tried to set the initial gains manually and use the relative mode for the link? The range would indeed be a problem with absolute reverse link (-60 to +60 dB).

Yes, tried that multiple times and couldn't get it to work satisfactorily.
Closest I could get was where one side set at -60 the other at 0, but at crossfade point volume dipped too low in both channels and as soon as tried to crossfade the other way the volume on the other side would exceed 0 and overload things.
And then the relative levels would be off (for example -60/+12) and you'd have to manually reset them.
