This is the crux of the matter.....justifying how long to spend getting a 
particular element the way you want it....
I suppose ultimately I could settle for standard faders or stop being a git 
and fork out the 70 dollars for the professional sliders (or even more for 
the motorised versions) or take the easy route and stick all the faders in 
software on the touchscreen....
But then the whole basis of my design is to address most of the annoyances 
Ive had with the commercial stuff Ive bought over the years so I have to 
"like it or lump it" when it comes to the extra work involved.

Its a labour of love and they do say "that which doesnt kill you makes you 
stronger".....but I would be lying if I said i hadnt been tempted from time 
to time to take the easy route!
