I don't mean that the controls should be dumbed down - the numerical value and 
units should definitely be there for the advanced users. But I think for the 
average musician, computers of any kind are intimidating enough already.  

Ideally, an effect should be as easy to understand and use as a guitar pedal 
or rack unit with three or four knobs on. Just labels like 'more' and 'less' 
could make all the difference.

A related request - could the names of the SC series be changed to Simple 
Compressor 1, 2, 3 etc for the benefit of users with drop-down LADSPA menus? 
If you hadn't told me that SC was a compressor I might never have found it...

Cheers
