My biggest gripe about Fender Studio Pro...

[Slacknote]

My biggest gripe about Fender Studio Pro is that it's so darn good! I'll end up finding smaller and smaller issues to be bothered with, which then makes me feel like an utter prat. But you've brought this onto yourselves Fender (Presonus)!
I currently have two things I can't get my head around.

1. Why is it that you have buried such amazing EQs and compressors inside such a clumsy UI as Fat Channel? I just can't see the use case. Why would I not want those EQs and compressors to show up as separate EQ and Dynamics plugins? I hope it's just me. It took me years to discover them because they're so well hidden, and then I forgot about them again and still I haven't found a workflow that makes it easy to use them.
2. When I freeze a bus, why do I have do that twice? The first time it clips and then I have to adjust the fader, so the second time it doesn't.

But again: I feel like a prat even brining this up. Fender Studio Pro is one of the best things that ever happened to my!

I can probably answer 1.: Fat Channel is the exact same channel strip you get in the StudioLive Series III mixers, with the exact same compressors etc. Keeping the Fat Channel as a unit in S1/SP allows tight integration between DAW and mixer where the DAW can control the mixer's Fat Channel settings and vice versa. It really makes the two work as one.
