This range was chosen because it makes most sense. It maps to the amount
of dB the given frequency band is amplified (or attenuated) while the
-1,1 range didn't have any real meaning.

We've chose -24 as lower limit as there has to be some limit, it could
easily be extended to -100 or something. +12 was chosen as upper limit
because everything else will most likely give clipping and even +12
gives clipping in many situations already. There's no reason why these
ranges could be extended though
