Caution: To adjust a fader, click on the fader knob to select it. Ctrl+click to set the fader to unity. If you click above or below the knob, it will jump to the point where you clicked. This is useful to move the fader quickly to where you want it to be. However, be careful not to inadvertently click above a fader knob. A sudden jump in volume will occur.
