** Direct DAW control means you don't need to the Console 1 plug-in to control DAW volume, pan, sends, solo and mute. Pro Tools only supports track names, color, solo/mute, track selection and track number.
***MCU Fader functionality varies with different DAWs.
Deeper compatibility between Console 1/Console 1 Fader and all major DAWs is definitely something we would like to see. This is something that we must work on together with the different DAW vendors though.
If there's any DAW that you're extra keen to see the DAW control features in, please let us know. It might also be a good idea to contact your DAW vendor and let them know that this is something you'd like to see happen.
