Yeah, but they are POST Pro Tools faders. Automating in PT or your DAW of choice will preclude you from inserting a compressor/limiter on the console channel insert. Unless of course you aren't changing the mix levels to that channel coming out of PT/DAW. Well, in all fairness, you CAN change the levels, but it will change your compression as well. Not the optimum.
