My question is if there are other options for volume control than stepped attenuators. ¿ maybe a dual ganged pot?

I suppose that the attenuator should go after the transformers. Or ¿can they go between the board an the trafos?.

I have the intention to put it as an insert in Cubase mix bus.

Thank you for your help.

For gain you could put a pot between the 2 -ve inputs of the opamps to create gain. Less than x1 gain is how it is drawn. With a pot and limiting resistor between the opamp -ve inputs this becomes the traditional instrumentation input with the transfomer doing the summing/difference passively. Our Elixir mic preamp has the same design idea except it's only 1 input with a lot more gain, but still the siganal is re-balanced by the transformer..
