no kidding.  all this fancy virtual modeling and we're MODELING THE
INTERFACE TOO?

sliders I can understand, but virtual knobs are the worst.  how the hell
do you "twist" things with a mouse?  prentend it's a slider!  MAKING
SENSE NOW!

some people in the industry seem to like this too.  universal audio and
bombfactory both seem to take pride in their "it looks like the gear"
virtual interfaces.
