Midi Controller Hardware Input Gain Levels
Why do all the popular midi controllers with sliders like Novation Launch Control XL or Akai Professional MIDImix ,etc. only have 8 channel volume sliders and device controls but no controls for the Hardware Input Gain Levels to control the level of an incoming signal? I always find myself in a live situation having to change the levels of an incoming signal, like the guitar, bass, drum machine etc. and the track levels only control the volume level of an already recorded track. Am I missing something? I know I can create a work around with a a novation launchpad but I don't understand why controls for the levels of the incoming signals isn't considered a top priority.

How would a midi controller map anything if not mapped? You can map to volumes. Are you saying you need more than 8 controls. What do you mean only controls recordings.
Maybe set the launchpad customs to be vol faders. Unsure if ideal for faders but maybe setup dual faders for each channel. So theres a fader that wont ever be full and set ( a gain ) and perhaps if it can. A mute and maybe solo on same fader lane. Then a fader in next lane for same channel. A fader that will be used more. So its like a dj mixer with line faders and gain. You would have to make busses in host.

Midi controllers do not control
physical input gain however
once your physical signal going
into your audio interface is set
so that it doesn’t distort midi controllers
can control the digital gain after the
signal has been digitised.
I agree. On the other hand, lots of midi controllers have pan knobs, which can be re-mapped to input gain in your DAW/software. I rarely need to tweak panning with a knob while composing, so I always reuse those knobs if I can.
