Input Volume Slider #159

Closed georgkrause closed 7 years ago

georgkrause commented 7 years ago

I am talking about the top right input volume slider. My request would be to remove it because in my workflow it isnt usable, but maybe there are others so at first i want to ask a question. When i use Luppp i want that the recorded clip has the same volume like the instrument i play. i am doing something like that:

              |------------ Luppp ---------|
instrument ---|                            | 
              |----------------------------|------ monitor

So when i record a clip and it is played the clip has a lower volume than the live played instrument which is a problem. So i always turn the slider to the most right, the loudest, position.

When i imagine another workflow, so the monitoring is done with luppp i would prefer to bring all instruments on the same level before luppp and adjust the monitor volume with the orange knob, but i see no reason why i should ever turn down the volume of the input signal.

So, what workflow i cannot imagine now depends on this slider?

In short, we shouldn't remove it for backwards compatiblity (somebody somewhere in the world might really like it being there), and with the Snd/Key/Mix featurs, there are reasons to require a gain trim on input.

Also keep in mind that the input slider can amplifly: https://github.com/openAVproductions/openAV-Luppp/blob/master/src/jack.cxx#L631

i am okay with not removing it since it doesnt hurt me. i was just wondering if there is any use...

is the default position +/- 0db? because with this setting the clips are less loud than the instrument itself. maybe i need look in more detail on it.
