this is a sound attitude.

you know, i was just coaching someone on qlab and they asked the same  
question. i think you're right... since we can adjust the matrix  
using fades, there's no real need to have a master matrix. i mean,  
most of the time, there's not even a need for the master levels, but  
i'm glad they're there. but i just cannot envision a situation where  
i would need to make an after-the-fact, overall level adjustment to a  
single matrix point.

axe it! cleaner interface! in FACT... ooh, this is good... this would  
actually help to eliminate the entire "initial fade levels vs master  
levels" problem... if the master matrix is gone, it might be possible  
to eliminate the master levels tab altogether, and combine the two.  
yes no?

i'd just like to hear how people are using it!

interested in what you're thinking of here... it's a very clean  
interface as is...

i don't know... it's pretty lean. i find myself using most of qlabs  
parts much of the time.

ps. the latest version of sound studio (3.0, i think) supports  
multichannel aiff and wav. word up.
