Please improve fader movements in UC Surface (iPad version in conjunction with RM32AI), operation will highly benefit when a fader can be moved much more gently and smooth. Specially the start of a movement is clunky many times. Because the fader doen not always engage directly the result is a very audible jumb, up or down.

This can give a lot of stress now and then, when just tiny bits need to be adjusted. I am usually putting my thumb gently on the fader and rol it a bit up and down, to see if the size of de fader knob changes. Then I continue to slightly roll it up and down to manage to get just a few dBs. This should be different. With other brands that I had experience with this is not the case.

It is one of the main reasons that I have to use the CS18AI when fine adjustments in a bigger concert hall are a necessity.

Yes! If the faders zoomed like the other functions in the software you could accommodate greater fader resolution without changing your layout. Though I guess multitouch might be an issue.. I'm sure you guys will work something out.  Hopefully.

I'm experiencing the same issue on the Lenovo ideapad s400-touch i3-3227U.  Very irritating, spend now 3 day's adjusting Win10-64b. touch preferences( right-click-off),HD energy-safer off, screen size,  kill unused processes, run hardware tests, factory reset and other OS(win8.1). No luck, the issue stay's.

According to the Presonus support it must be a malfunction or incapability of the Lenovo touch laptop?

- Impossible to make a live mix with tiny adjustments of 0.1 Db to 1Db on all type of the faders. (channel, main, mix & effect)
- External usb-Mouse control or  laptop mouse-pad has a smooth control of  all type of the faders. with adjustments of 0.1Db possible.
- No messages or faq found about this issue until now (this post)
- I'm obvious not the only one who encounters this problem. (this post)

Question: 

- Who is encountering the same problem with UC-control on a touch screen and what brand of device and what type of  system OS?

- Does anyone have a solution or more info ? Because it seems i'm not the only one, it's not possible my lenovo has a malfunction.

- Were do i need to post this?  Forum ? faq?
