And who have a mixer with 1% tolerance faders? You think all those beringers and so have?
If you want to reduce this discussion down to the cheapest gear...and then argue that it has poor tolerances and/or cuases some audio degradation...THAT is a totally different discussion than arguing how faders lose resolution at lower/higher settings.
Your initial comments about faders never focused the discussion on Behringer or cheap gear or whatever...you were talking in general about faders...so now you are just back-stepping and trying to save face.
In previous threads you've gone on and on about how you recorded with pros in pro studios, trying to impress everyone here...blah, blah, blah...but now you want to talk about cheap gear, Behringer and non-pro recording. to cover your missteps.
AFA this thread being about DAWs...and not hardware consoles and faders...read the original post.
He was talking about gain-staging **plugins** instead of moving the faders and about "resolution" (which is a digital term). Everyone here knew that he was talking about DAWs...you're the one that went off and started talking about hardware.
Regardless, DAW faders or hardware...there is no audio degradation with fader movement. The 1%, 5% 10% fader tolerances doesn't imply audio degradation, it implies the accuracy of the fader output across its length.
IOW...with wider tolerance, a group of faders in a console might not all output perfectly the same when lined up equally.
It doesn't necessarily mean that the audio will degrade by 10% VS 5% VS 1%.
Oh...and for the record, I actually have a minor degree in Electronic Audio Technology...so I'm rarely lost and confused in these types of discussions, and the other guys here who are disagreeing with you know their shit quite well...so really, no one is making a fool out of you...you keep doing it to yourself with this fader discussion.
Just accept that you are wrong...or don't, and keep arguing foolishly.
Your choice.
