I only suggest the icon because if you really put the time in and do all your plugin mapping you can operate it very much like an analog board in terms of hands on operation.... and have total recall... the euphonix is a toy.. and since a used d command is about half the cost of flying faders.. and if you had the room it's not the worst "hybrid idea in the world.... in fact I've thought of doing a similar thing next year with a tonelux setup perhaps using it as a center section of a hybrid analog digital console and the footprint will be very managable right now i use about 32 channels of outboard neves and apis, wunder etc... nice but i have to do a lot more running around the room for tracking

i think space has become a big issue for alot of folks... it sure has for me.
1608, AWS, 5088 all have a small enough footprint, but 1608 has no automation or recall, AWS doesn't have quite enough channels (for me) and the automation doesn't read or write to a DAW, and 5088/Tonelux both provide automation that works seamlessly with DAWs, but no recall. the AMS Genesys also seems like a nice solution but the EQ is 3 bands with no high/low pass filters, and EQ has to be tweaked DAW style, banking 4 enconders. i'm not sure if Encore automation reads/writes to DAW. though any of these can certainly make for a very fine console i see no "perfect world" hybrid solution for right now.
Scott's idea of inserting the console's channel in PT isn't bad at all though...
