For the Mic Boost +20dB case , how PA handle this +20dB switch in the "Flat Volume" model if you did not expost the Mic Boost switch to the user in the mixer control ?
+20dB is quite significant in with the Capture Volume control
We currently don't cover boost switches, simply because tehre is no dB data queriable for them.
I'd really prefer if those boost switches would be turned into binary volume elements which carry normal dB information like any other volume element. After all they are just a volume element, with only two steps.
I like this idea.
Seems like a good idea but what should we call it. If we already have a mic capture gain control, what shall we call the mic boost gain control so as not to confuse it with each other? Would keeping its current name be OK?
I would keep the Boost suffix. It's easy to understand.
