hi derek
as Dafydd mentioned it, i use also a 'squared' scale. it is somehow in the middle of the both extremes 'linear' and 'logarithmic'. linear is a pain, when trying to adjust the volume in the low level area, whereas the 'logarithmic' scale is too accurate in that area. i'd say 'mathematically' correct is, what makes sense for your ears, since all scales are 'mathematically' correct, but different. i remember, that miller pucket posted once, that he uses {0-1}^4 (square of a square).

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?
