Input level ?

[lalalandsynth]

What is the correct way to set up an input level to an fx plugin ?
My current setup is a "Normalized percentage" Slider controlling a gain module using this code.

const var inputGain = Synth.getEffect("InputGain");

var inputLabel = createLabel("INPUT", "%", 77, 356 + 15, 83, 22);

inline function onInputKnbControl(component, value)
{
	local wValue = Engine.getDecibelsForGainFactor(value);
	inputGain.setAttribute(inputGain.Gain, wValue);

    displayValue(inputLabel, Math.round(value*1000)/10);
};

Content.getComponent("sliderInput").setControlCallback(onInputKnbControl);

But the behaviour is "strange" bringing the slider down to 1% is -40dB and then it jumps from there to -100 from the 1% to the 0% , I am aware of the logarithmic nature of decibels but wondering if this is correct behaviour?

As opposed to the convolution reverb in reaper.

@lalalandsynth why use normalized percentage and not the decibel slider range?

@DanH Not sure, old project and found a post that recommended that, might have been some changes since then.

Decibel to Linear value to make Dry/Wet Slider...

Use Engine.getDecibelsForGainFactor() and its brother Engine.getGainFactorForDecibels() for the conversion between db values and 0...1. No need to reinvent t...

@DanH With that setting I now jump from -70 to -100 at the bottom range of the slider.

@lalalandsynth I suppose you could try lowering the middlePosition of the slider in its Properties.
