Linking channels for volume

Hi there

I want to be able to adjust the volume of multiple channels, now I know you can group them or link them… I prefer the linking method which is…

Press ctrl and select your chosen channels in the mixer, then right click. Select link channels and volume only. Then when I move the fader of one of my selected channels they all move together “however”

This is I am sure a dumb question…

Why do all the faders “not” move in unison? an equal distance for each?

For example if I move the lower faders an inch, a fader that was set at a higher volume moves 2 inches. I am sure I am being dumb here but cannot get me head round it… could someone please explain.

Is it because the faders do not “visually” represent their affect on volume control?

Thanks

yeah - it’s because db’s are measured with a logarithmic scale.

Thanks Manike… I was hoping it was something along those lines lol…

Much appreciated…
