The total bar is divided into 5 parts, per EQ standard.
Each set of subdivisions is 5 as well. Here is where the problem lies.
- 1/5 of 100% is 20%. So each division is 20% of a level.
- 1/5 of 20% is 4%. So each subdivision within a bubble is 4%.
- 1/4 of 4% is 1%. Making each tick 1% of a level.
My suggestion is to reduce the number of subdivisions to 4. This will result in:
- 1/5 of 100% is 20%. So each division is 20% of a level.
- 1/4 of 20% is 5%. So each subdivision within a bubble is 5%.
- 1/5 of 5% is 1%. Making each tick 1% of a level.
The whole number % for tick's will be much easier to read by simply glancing at the bar because at the mid level, there are 4 divisions, and one of the mid divisions ends at the halfway point.
I have a point here, I'm just having a hard time describing it. My main problem is that I cannot read the blue bar without a calculator. It's obviously not a deal breaker with the exp displayed numerically to 0.1%.
