Ofcourse that's the essential issue.

However, if you can live with one additional DA/AD loop than it can be made workable. Just use inserts in your DAW prefader. then do automation in the DAW and then send to the console.

Still a workaround, but only for channels where you need both outboard comps and automation at the same time.
