I tested the master level just now. It is only hooked up to the master
ouputs atm. The band outputs don't have boost+limiter+volume control at
the moment.

There are a few ways to handle this in the interface.

1: Radio buttons on the Limiter section

ex.

[all] [low] [mid] [high]

 [    limiter controls    ]


2: New scrollable tab in the upper tab panel

3: Tabbed controls for each compressor

4: Add the controls directly under the compressors by extending the height
of the interface.

5: New scrollable panel for the lower tab section with choice of 3 or 4.

I'm not sure how this fits. Can you give a little more detail? What is the
purpose of a second xover?

Screen sizes have increased over the past few years. Should we increase
the default size of the main window to accomodate more controls?
