I have always had a problem turning knobs in Sonar, I wonder if other users share that experience!
Right now, I'm trying to turn the knobs in the prochannel, but the results are always completely unpredictable!
Sometimes it will move slow, othertimes fast - and moving it backwards will make it jump all the way back, even if shift was hold down.
Do people just use 'type in' of the number they want, or external control and just forget about using the mouse?
Right now(in the prochannel), you can use the mouse wheel to turn a knob when holding down the left mouse button, and this will ALSO(at the same time) move the whole prochannel up or down, then when the prochannel can't be moved up or down, suddenly the slider can't be turned either, does this make sense? Even worse in the console view, there the mouse wheel will function differently depending on the cursor placement on the screen - if the cursor is on top of a knob it will change functionality and start turning the knob instead of moving the screen up or down! This kind of mapping is just violating all principles of intuitive GUI design(one function per control).
I would just like to know if the function of the knobs and sliders in relation to the mouse will be 'fixed'(made more intuitive) or if it will stay like this. And is there an overall idea behind it or was it just random design?
Also the mouse works completely different turning knobs in VST plugins, it would be nice with an overall intuitive standard.
