Oh ok,I can do acerbic condescending and patronising wording too.
Lets go.......or maybe not because afterall we are all adults and mature rational people on this forum.
A dumbed down bersion of Fender Studio!??
If you read my post carefully and pay attention by reading the words.
I have suggested that like many other DAWs it would be nice to have the basic tools that every other DAW has.
With all respect, and from the same place TimC340 is coming from (whom I happen to have seen always be completely respectful), is completely correct in using the term "dumb down". Now you may not like that, or feel offended and that is your perogative. However, as you'll find when using this and other fine DAW's is that such things can be truly redundant. Even to the point of getting in the way. There are to some degree and might be helpful to you to set levels at different intervals within certain plugins so that they react a certain way. You can do this with existing plugins, or metering to both set a level, and get a reading. What can happen on the flip side can occasionally be problematic. Think of how hardware components rely on matched impedance to get the best results [bandwidth] or less distortion.
As to volume, pan, and any pre-existing audio or DSP control, the nature of really any DAW is to provide a consistent flow and control.
For example, selecting a gain, or a fader. While both vary amplitude, both have a seriously different impact over altering volume. Selecting pre and post fade routing where levels can also alter have a very different result. These and too many other reasons are why DAW's cary a certain symmetry to layout and functionality.
Tim also pointed to options such as third party plugins. So theres already several options that meet various needs and may meet yours. They're quite basic and visible to those who need them.
It would seem in my opinion that you have not read my post properly or taken yourself seriously enough to undertake an answer other than the usual social media style provocation.
I'd probably suggest the table turned in your response to what was a legitimate response.
Sorry, if my position feels any different, but I think your response could be best served by asking further to bolster your points made. Not lash out because of how you felt was a term you simply didnt like. Feelings come in all shapes and sizes and I believe you took it wrong here.
It is a forum and we have decorum here,if you are not used to it then the hellscape horror of twitter awaits you.
As a music person I am only interested in contributing something positive to the world
Can you say the same for yourself?
There you go again. You're escalating something that is not necessary. So why not tone it down. Moving forward...
But ...wait....... an adult response arrives........
I am adult enough to accept your suggestion that third party basic apps are available.
Awesome. If we find any that assist you, we will. BTW, Studio One/Pro have some very complimentary plugin tools for automating or setting pan, volume, and almost virtually any control so ask any particular question that helps your needs. They can be inserted to be very visual as well! One dial plugins? No. But they're likely some out there.
