Default JS Volume utility set default to 0db instead of +6db

This plugin has default of +6db and its doing more harm than good (and also in 99% cases you will set it to 0db then go adjusting it). I thought I was the only one that has modded to 0dB but there are others doing the same and others avoid it.

In 90% of cases while mixing volume of monitoring system is loud, add this one and you have a bad time....

You can do it by simply selecting it,
click on Edit... located at the right of the window,
and make...

slider1:6

turn into

slider1:0

After replacing the 6 with a 0, do CTRL+S to save
the new script.

At the bottom of the window RECOMPILED OK! will appear.

Close the window.

Default is not good. Its like having EQ with default settings low shelf and high shelf boost 10dB. You can manually adjust this but whats the point of it since you will reset it anyway?

This is on the other hand very dangerous in loud mixing environments since it increases the volume on insert drastically

Just saying that I do use "JS: Volume/Pan Smoother v5" or "JS: Volume/Pan Smoother" already for a long time which are both set initially to 0db by default.

EDIT:
But for distortions and e.g. to make a nice square wave out of Tone Generator's sine wave output the "JS: Volume Adjustment" with its Max volume parameter is cool and useful
