Console automation:

Muting channels to deal with the noise floor (from inserted outboard) can be lowered when signal isn't being passed;

Compressed sound stays constant even when working the levels on the board;

Easier tactical control of certain parts on a physical layout as compared to on a screen (ICON / controller users excepted);

etc...
All of the above and I also use a tape deck locked up to my rig and alot of analog outboard. In fact, my console only has 48 automated faders, I'm looking into a bigger
automated console
