Couldn´t agree more. It´s the first thing I thought of after being disappointed.
It´s really a pain to use one knob to do more than one thing... I don´t have 50 knobs or controllers so if you use one for, say, panning and assign it to a plugin cutoff or something you end up moving both at the same time, one or the other... It makes sense to make it so that the knob only works on the selected plugin... Otherwise you just have to assign everything each time or do like 50 zones, select the zone each time, etc.
So if I have assigned a knob to the attack in a compressor and that same knob for the cutoff of a synth and use both on the same track I basically cannot do either in a simple manner.
Either I´m missing something or this isn´t weel thought of, it´s for sure not straightforward or "Logical"... I beleive it worked a lot better in Cubase.
