Macro: In_dB

When your sound card attenuators have been calibrated, this button becomes enabled. When active, the default step units of the Line and Master Level controls are replaced by the actual attenuator dB. If both Line and Master (if present) are calibrated, the total Left and Right attenuations are also shown on either side of this button.

This also allows scrolling of the Level or Master controls such that only real attenuator steps are selected, skipping all the dummy steps that Windows inserts to make slider controls appear to have more resolution. So you will see the dB value change on every scroll step.

Macro Notes:

In_dB=1 the dB mode, In_dB=0 sets step mode, and In_dB=x toggles between the two modes.

Note that the state of the dB button controls the units of the InLineL and InLineR Line Level commands (as well as InMstL and InMstR, if your card has Master Input Level controls.) Use an In_dB command before these to be sure you don't get step -3 instead of -3 dB.
