I'm not sure I'd dislike that. dB might be natural for analog audio
folk, but there's certainly nothing confusing about the concept that 50% =
"half" and 25% = "one quarter", is there? Percentage volume is pretty
common among digital tools and nobody seems to have trouble with it.
At least, it certainly seems to me that using a *third* curve makes
things less intuitive for *everybody*, whether their tools background is
analog or digital. Or am I missing something?
