Fabfilter Pro-MB Improvements

I want Pro-MB to be my multiband compressor of choice but i always end up not using it due to the UI and critical features. These are some needed improvements.

The threshold needs to be displayed as a line over the audio and not on the threshold knob. This always makes it difficult to visually tell where the threshold is triggering. I'm often confused thinking the "band" dots are the threshold when they're really just a gain.

The attack and release are percentages instead of milliseconds or seconds. I have no idea what these percentages mean in relation to time making this a complete guessing game.

It's not possible to use downwards and upwards compression at the same time. This is a critical feature that forces me to use other compressor that offer it.

I'm sure you are working on Pro-MB 2 right now and i really want to see these changes added.

Additionally there is not a input volume display next to an ouput volume display which would allow me to compare.

The ratio should just be displayed as its number value (2:1 ect) instead of an adjustable bar.
