I'm playing with Tarekith's EQ racks
http://www.tarekith.com/misc.html

on one he got Hz to show up next to the filter macro knob.

on the other EQ rack I can't get it to do the same. I see where you would right click to 'show generic value' and I can get the one that shows Hz to toggle from generic values to Hz and back.

is there any way to get the gain knob to show dB instead of a generic number?

don't tell me to rtfm, my cracked version of Live didn't come with one.

Id say get a better crack my friend.

but since im merciful ill answer your question with the story of King solomon...

"One day two women came before the King. They carried with them a little baby, which was set down on the floor, at the foot of Solomon’s throne
“O my lord,” said one of the women, “five days ago I gave birth to a child. This woman and I live in the same house, and three days later she also gave birth, but that same night her child died, and at midnight she arose and, while I was sleeping, took my son away from me, and laid her dead child in its place. When I awoke in the morning I thought at first that my son was dead, until I realised that it was not my child.”
“No,” interrupted the second woman, “she lies, my lord, she lies! The living child is mine and the dead is hers!”
“No,” cried the first woman, wildly. “No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine.”
King Solomon raised his hand for silence.
“One of you says ‘my child lives and yours is dead ’, and the other says ‘your child is dead and my child lives’: there is a simple way to resolve the matter. Bring me a sword.”
A sword was brought, and the assembly waited to see how the King would proceed.
“Very well,” he said, “ cut the child in two, and give half to one mother, and half to the other.”
The first woman turned pale.
“O my lord,” she said in a faltering voice. “Pray, give her the child. I beg you, do not kill it.”
But the other woman’s face remained hard.
“Let it be neither mine nor yours,” she said, “divide it as the King has ordained.”
Then Solomon arose, and pointed to the first woman.
“The child belongs to her, ” he said. “Give her the child, and do not kill it. She is its mother.”

It's because the macro knobs in the enclosed rack are mapped to multiple parameters with different ranges. You can only show specific units if the parameters it's controlling are not only the same unit, but also the same range.

Would it kill you to crack the manual every now and then, TD?

Nah, what eight-oh said. Another thing that may cause the macro not to update is if you've manually entered a name for it previously; I don't think mapping it after that
fact will override the name you gave it, and hence not the range either.

HA! right you are, thanks! that was bugging me, makes sense.

OK, I found the manual but it's in Russian.

is that a new sig for you tone?

I was leaning towards Ezekiel 23:19-20

Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals – as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions.
