Now, how many "mixers" have a Master gain control? For example, I can mix
multiple tracks in Audacity, but if I find the VU meter being pegged, I either
have to decrease amplitude of each track, manually or automatically, but both
are either tedious or time consuming. I asked the Audacity development crew to
simplify, they suggested adding Master Gain Control.


No mixer I know of - my view of the world may be incomplete - have that, if you
overload the summing, then you're done, just don't.



Out of 26 hardware outputs, only 2 have a meter and fader to gauge the output
level. My other interfaces get it right at the cost of the copy and paste of
some computer code.
