Why accept the mediocrity that standard digital faders provide us with?

Volt sets itself apart from any other fader you've used before. Whilst remaining lightweight, simple and easy to use; the parameters available enable you to fully shape and dynamically control program material with the utmost quality. Volt employs 64 bit precision, however the majority of DAW faders use 32 bit precision and begin rounding (sometimes in 1dB increments!) past a certain threshold.

The digital faders available to us did not suffice, so we developed exceptionally smooth, hair-splitting, double precision movements. Thus proving perfect for the most minute, high resolution incremental shifts for gain-staging across a 300dB range.

For just $18, Volt can be exploited in both mixing & mastering environments. Implement the fader into your DAW template, to take advantage of the remarkable smoothness we have to offer.
Are you serious about detail?
Volt is for you. :twothumbs

Looks cool for $18, just slap this on every mixer channel and use it instead of the faders yeah?

Give us a demo or demo video!
*edit* there is one, I'm retarded :l

theres a demo on the website

Any comparisons to DAW faders? You say digital faders don't suffice but you lack a demo showing why Volt kicks normal digital faders' asses.I feel like the difference isn't going to be enough to be noticeable.

Yes, because we all need to be focusing on the overly technical nuances of a volume control.
Make music ffs.

i feel like you're right

Visually it looks pretty sweet... but c'mon why would you ever need that many decimal places.

So that you can loose focus of your music production and spend days trying to get your track elements to sit specifically at 12.1 db and 37.75 db respectively.

I can see this being quite handy in a mastering context (atm I'm using FreeG for more accurate control) but yeah I can't see me using this a great deal when it comes to basic mixdown stuff, still nice to know I could go to that many decibel places if I ever need to haha

I doubt I'd use it very much but it might come in really handy from time to time, cheers man

I do think it's more a mastering tool than a mixing tool. I wouldn't put it on every channel in the mix, but if I had like 10 stems when I get to the master then sure, I want my fader to be fucking precise.

Volt - the fader for people who don't understand the decibel scale.

How so? I don't see the connection.

1db is supposed to be the smallest change we can hear, most DAW's go way beyond that anyway.

JND in Sound Intensity

A useful general reference is that the just noticeable difference in sound intensity for the human ear is about 1 decibel.
JND = 1 decibel

Ah okay, thanks... I didn't know that but it makes sense.

Thanks for the responses guys.

It can be used like that, yes.
Volt can also be used to fade in/out effects, busses & your mix.

Hi,

We do not lack a demo, there is one on our site.

Being that Volt goes to 14th decimal places, it ensures fades are the smoothest you've ever heard. It is also useful for precise gain staging, to calibrate your mix precisely, or not.

You're welcome, I hope you find it useful.

Hey guys,

Here's a light user-review, for those interested.

Not hating on the product but stating that it is useful for precise gain staging is a bit of a stretch.
How am I even remotly limited by my current daw which allows me to change the meter settings at will with a single click.

Hi,

Reaper is great for holding precise values, we love Reaper.

If however, you wanted to split a file into 12 tracks & wished for them to add up to the exact same level as the input, I think you'd be more comfortable practising this operation in Volt.

I would like to stress that the primary function of Volt, is to create smoother fades.
It just happens to be very useful for precise gain staging too!
