Adding colors to the new BIAB 2014 Mixer #225484 12/03/13 08:26 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP jphillips Journeyman J Joined: May 2008 Posts: 366	I'm liking the new mixer in BIAB 2014 but my eye is a bit overwhelmed with the array of faders. I think it might be better to add color to each section of faders, VOLUME, PAN, REVERB such as illustrated here: I'm not at all tied to these colors or even this concept but I think something like this would help the eye navigate the vast number of faders, buttons, etc. in the new 2014 mixer. I also posted this to the BIAB wishlist John
