It looks to me like it has been heavily "compressed" ("dynamic range compression": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression).
How does it sound?
If it doesn't sound distorted then I'd assume that it is OK.

Some more ideas: How about reducing the number of controls by combining "Label text", "Minimum number of digits in label", and "Begin numbering from:" into one text control? As we have text input for the "time" values, why not allow hours:min:seconds.milliseco...

On reflection, the other text boxes have reasonable error checking, so I'm happy to make this a text input too. I've updated the plug-in in the first post.

Can you fill out a bit of detail, ideally make an model number for each item, then we can probably give a more useful answer.

Do you mean for instance a slider that goes from -120 dB to 0 dB, with -12 dB exactly in the middle? Currently the slider widgets are linear. In the case of a "volume slider" (for example the main sliders in the Mixer Board) it would be useful to have a logarithmic scale from -infinity to...
