PS: If you would use it in general to e.g. drive a pre fader compressor
or to generally mix with trim pod and fader, you are making something
completely wrong, either if you boost or attenuate. For a DAW mixer it
should be a feature just in case, assuming you have bad luck with the
signal of a single channel and don't want to remix 20 other channels.
An analog mixer needs a trim pot, because the input not necessarily is
line level for all tasks of the analog mixer.
And this comes from famous consoles used since the
70s.
Pff, DAWs in the 70s? You only need to trim for the analog domain. I
don't know what and why mixbus provides, perhaps they add a feature to
attenuate or boost a signal, but adjustment isn't required. There is
nothing like line level required, because it is not analog. You seem
not to understand what a trim pot is good for, when using analog
mixers. A trim pot for DAW mixers could make sense, if a signal should
be too silent, while the fader is at maximum, but a DAW's mixer doesn't
require to adjust input levels. This is ridiculous.
