I'm not saying its not possible, its just not something most live sound engineers would find themselves doing.
This is also why I asked Larry the original question "What was he hoping to accomplish". Maybe he is one of the rare people/circumstances were this would be more efficient.
Yes, it would be great if we could get a feel for his thinking on this.
Furiously tweaking? Probably not more so than any other hardware-controlled parameter. I was thinking it was just the same ol' thing about preferring a physical fader or knob over the mousy approach. More intuitive and easier/quicker to manipulate so long as you know quickly what controls what. I wasn't thinking that the fact it's a plug-in would make a difference. Same attraction as with levels and pans. Just more of a good thing. If you like their plug-ins, of course. And if the plug-ins will even work live.
