Volume sliders settings
Very basic question regarding the volume slider values if I may please?
0 up to 15 I do understand, however 0 down to -15, what does that mean in the Controller?

I get that but why the negative values, that’s my point. If you want to decrease volume surely 15 down to zero works to reduce decibel levels but why negative values from -15 up to zero?
The rationale behind that is that 0 is the middle point; the default. If you want more than that, increase above 0, if you want less, you go below 0. These settings were implemented long before I started working here, so I can’t comment on the exact design choices, but I’m almost positive we’re not the only one doing things this way 
It’s quite common to use negative values in audio production as well as some home audio products.
Edit: Looks like I was too slow typing my response! Thanks jgatie and nik9669a
