I was just adding my opinion from a very different understanding of
mixers/mixing. Desk automation vs live dj / turntablist style mixing.
Check out http://www.ecler.es/download/img_general_hak320.jpg if you
want a pic of it. Notice the curve adjust knobs on the front, one of
the interesting points behind me mentioning it. Not that i ever use
alsa mixer for this kind of thing ;-)
This also explains how i cope without mute groups! 16 inputs would be
quite confusing, 3 turntables at once + effects is enough to keep me
quite confused/busy ;-)

My mixer (Ecler HAK320) has selectable curve on all faders, but option
i use is nonlinear, log style which is a very nice feature to
preserve. It's got mute switches as well, but i never use them.
I don't know it, but how do you handle a reasonably busy show without mutes?
Almost the most basic form of desk automation is the mute group and I find
it
very difficult to live without once you get beyond 16 inputs or so.
Don't forget the mutes will take out the pre fade sends as well, which just
pulling the fader down doesn't.
Just curious how anyone can mix without mutes?
