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

If you do it that way, why not just keep it in PT and mix there? I don't see how spending the extra money on extra ad/da's and the console just to do it this way.... And if the API is just a 'summer', there are cheaper ways to do it.... 8816/dangerous/equinox/etc....
