It seems to work fairly smooth when lowering the volume, but raising the volume seems a little rough (especially above 0db). I'm curious, has anybody else experienced this?
Not here. I suspect that the BCF and BCR might be a little different in this respect.
I think you're right about that. I was just playing with volumes, and it seems that if you adjust the volume of the track that is selected you can move it smoothly from maxed out to the minimum. But, if you adjust a track that is not selected the volume goes from minimum to 0.4. Strange.
An embarrassment of riches! My first reaction to the BCR was to use the non push encoders as faders for the first 24 tracks - your idea is an interesting variation.
Last night I was trying to set the encoders into 16 pairs; one encoder for volume, one for pan. But I wasn't able to figure out how to control more than 8 channels at once.
