User-defineable fader steps

I've put up a flash video example on how this would be useful in Reaper. I used Vegas for the example. When the video starts, you will notice that the mouse pointer is just above the slider line, and when clicking once, it brings down the volume in 10th's of a db, and when the pointer is on the center of the line, it brings the volume up in 1 db increments. When using the wheel, it brings the volume up or down in 1 db increments, and when using the ctrl key plus the wheel it's in 10th's of a db. In Reaper, the increments are not even. It's been discussed in this thread: Again, I think that Deltones is right. "Would it be possible to add an option in preference to define the step value you want to use when moving faders? For example, if you enter a value of 0.5 in preference option, moving up or down the track fader will step like this: 0dB, 0.5dB, 1.0dB etc." Hopefully this thread will be seen by the developers, and be considered as an option. These fine increments do make a difference to me as demonstrated in this video especially when fine tuning Vocal tracks. Here's the link: Thanks, Wyatt

Maybe we could have them with different settings. For example: Leave the current volume fader in drag mode alone, click on the center line and have 1 db increments, and then assign user defined steps to the wheel. This could be great for all faders for more accuracy including gain faders on fx plugins. Thanks, Wyatt Please Vote for this here:

please, not everyone has mousewheel. (4x Logitech MarbleMouse here) the Vegas way (optional) would be very cool, almost a life (and heart) saver

Let's bump the thread again ; have there been some news about this request ?

My vision of this, is to keep Reaper's faders the way they are, and add the following options in the preferences. Here's quick mockup of how it could be in the preferences. And the result would be: Thanks, Wyatt

any news on this?
