Default Output Level not 0.0dB: Is it Intentional?

[Hrxcky]

Is it supposed to be where you can set the output default to 0db?
This is the closest I could get with the arrow keys, I have to double click each mixer track in Play mode for each new project.
Of course 0.04 is probably undetectable to 0, but there is still a bothersome UI aspect to it

Here’s a post about that, should you be comfortable manually editing your preferences file:

Dorico 4 - Sliders update (feature request)

I don’t really find this slider super helpful either as it’s a complete guess as to where 0 is. If you go to your user preferences.xml file that lives in C:\Users\yournamehere\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Dorico 4 in Windows, search for defaultPluginOutputGain and set it to 1. That will then zero out the mixer levels by default. [levels]

I took the liberty of editing your topic title to help make it clearer for anyone searching, @Hrxcky. Hope you don’t mind!
