If everyone got a turn, would you take your turn the same as the others or be different?

I've seen lots of really great knobs, dials, and gauge components. The intended way a person would build their app to use one would most likely be varied .

Knobs and dials just look cool...I don't know anything about audio editing but I like the site of a sound studio. This is the "Reason" I decided to make a knob component.
