Update:
I've gotta add that the EQ section has turned out to be largely transparent & musical. It's a bit impractical fiddling with an interface that was built for hands & never intended for mouse clicks- more true on the channel strips than anywhere-
That said I recommend going into Console options & turning off the parts you're not using as not to chew up your DSP.
