Hi chaps,
I'm currently brainstorming a new project for an active monitor switcher/controller. Something a little bit like the Presonus Central Station - headphone amp, level indicator, source switching, cue feed, output switching, mute/dim/mono, big knob (ooeeerr) etc.
In your expert opinion(s) if you were to engage the Mute function on such a device and then twiddled the main volume knob, would you expect:
1 - the mute function to automatically disable as soon as the knob was rotated in either direction
2 - the mute function to automatically disable only if rotated clockwise
3 - the mute function to disable only when manually disabled?
For items 1 and 2, would you expect the volume to automatically return to the level it was it before the mute function was engaged, or start again from zero? Or something else?
My thinking is version 2 with recall-last-volume, but maybe people here have better ideas?
Thoughts?
