I'm only allowed to have one plugin window open at a time, so I cannot see what's going on in the compressor plugin when I'm trying to do real-time automation recording in the EQ. I don't know what you guys are doing with plugin display in Ardour so maybe you can see multiple plugins at the same time? I cannot, so a Channel Strip under Pro Tools means I can watch the automation of one control while writing the automation of another control. I can make my moves on EQ automation while watching compressor threshold playback automation. - Mark
