@Brian Roth I have been thinking, what if I based the recall on the output volume of each channel?
One could set up a simple group in the DAW sending a 440hz sine wave at a fixed level to each individual channel, read every channel's outputs (L/R), then save these values instead of the pots values as initially planned.
No more pot replacement to do, only need to somehow plug to the outputs pins of each cards. Of course the Mini Mixer does not have individual outputs that could have made the implementation immediately possible, but wouldn't that solution be easier to implement than the one previously thought about?
The flow would be a little heavier than being able to screenshot the knobs position at any given time but I feel that it's still so much easier than taking a picture to recall from when working on several sessions every day.. Just need to pause the track 10 seconds and send the sinewaves through..
Do you think that would be doable regarding the pictures of the boards I sent you? Is my belief that it is possible to somehow plug to the audio channel without doing any harm to the audio (when using the mixer to mix normal audio) to read the volume correct or am I mistaken?
I can even imagine a beautiful plug and play recall kit for Mini Mixer's owners to plug into each channel's connector!
Best,
