Have you noticed that blending a dry with a wet signal, for example by using two mixer channels in a Combinator and using the programmer to make one pot to control it, often results in a bad behaviour, gain differences?

What is causing this? Is it like the panning law that when blending left and right you need to adjust the volume? I would expect when blending two channels, you simply have one which goes louder when the other goes softer. But that seems not always be the case.

With that I “believe” it will be a straight line fade of each, which does not translate to level gain throughout the transition. Recommend using an actual crossfader.

This one is free I think. And has multiple curves to choose from.

Yes thanks. Know that one, it is excellent!

A find it a bit tricky to include it in commercial ReFills though since it's an additional RE. But since it's free it might be good to start using this device for better blends.

Ah didn’t realize you were using it in refills. Never have a problem downloading stuff that’s free sooo... it doesn’t bother me lol
