I've been using the following to control the output volume of a channel from my MIDI faders:
[ctlin 7 1] (in from faderbox) | [* 0.787402] (scale 0-127 to 0-100) | [dbtorms] | [pack 0 50] | [*~] (multiplied by sound from channel)
I know that this is the "mathematically" correct way to do decibels to RMS, but it doesn't sound right. The bottom 2/3rds of the slider are almost silent, then the sound comes in very loud at the top. What other kind of setup are people using to control gain?
well, i guess, this is mathematically correct, if complete silence would start at db ;) i usually scale the midi range 1 to 127 from the lowest audible sound to the loudest i want to produce, which works pretty good for my ears, except the fact, that 7 bit are just too little for an accurate volume control (at least for my ears).

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!
