FR: Ability to manually enter a value for volume/pan in Item Properties

[MRMJP]

As the title says, I would like to be able to manually enter a numeric value for the item volume in the Item Properties section.

As of now, it seems you only have the option of doing this with the fader/slider.

Yes, I was really surprised it wasn't possible already. Seems like a basic thing. Sometimes I like to enter precise values for the volume rather than use the slider.

Also nitpicking but I think it should be called Level (Gain) rather than "Volume" throughout the app.

i use the SWS "set volume for select items.." action placed in my media item drop down menu.

Thanks. You've inspired me to find what I was actually looking for which is a Xenakios/SWS action called "set volume and pan of selected takes" and this is where I can enter in a precise value for takes in the item properties tab.

Hi, I'm also in the same boat and tried it, but it didn't work. I added it into the Track control panel and it showed a pop-up menu. I was able to input the value of the volume and the pan, but it wasn't applied.
Any ideas?
