Now that this change is live, I have a base volume present in my GUI (at around the 64% mark with the cubic scale we've already discussed). When I set my volume ot the base volume, the h/w controls are all set to 0dB which is exactly as expected.
I fail to see the point here? The base volume is clearly exposed to the as the recommended point on the scale at which no clipping occurs.
I really don't get where your complaint is.
Well, if you can define "Volume" in a way that lets you understand this then fine. For me, all these controls are not adjusting "Volume", they are adjusting "Gain", so why are they even called "Base Volume".
