I wonder if Reaper 6 could at least take a kick at these issues finally?
I mean, I'm not a professional and even I'm annoyed for the fact that I can't insert positive maximum values for the VU-meters, or have PRE/POST fader switch right at the MCP channel controls or that there's no clear color coding for different areas of the VU-meter so one can see at glance when they're at confortable level... :/
Not all of these can be comfortably solved with extensions, WALTER or such...
