> and then later made a conscious choice to figure out how dB work. You're just projecting your ideas here. I've not made that choice, it's just the only option in a lot of software - I'd like my % slider back. | |||||||||||||||||

% slider sounds like a good idea until you actually have to use it. | |||||||||||||||||

Windows has 0-100 volume sliders if you like that better. They are still some kind of faux-logarithmic* *behavior depends on drivers/hardware.** **for some hardware 50 in Windows will be neutral and 100 will be something like a +30 dB digital gain, that's probably in part because Windows is mapping the 0-100 range in some way to the USB audio control range, which is at most +-127 dB or something like that.*** ***with some audio interfaces (the non-USB-Audio-class kind) the 0-100 actually becomes a linear factor of 0-1, making the windows controls very useless indeed, as 70% of the slider range does approximately nothing. | |||||||||||||||||
