Qtractor the fader for synth plugins is pre everything ;), that's bad

For an anlog mixer this would be: Not using the fader of the mixer, but
the synth volume for mixing, so you'll get 100% parasitic noise from
effects, even if the synth volume is very low.
Anyway, you want to build a remote control for digital mixers and can't
care about wrong usage of good designed digital mixers and you can't
care about bad designed digital mixers.

On a DAW, we sort of do this already by recording
using the fader (and
audio device gain) for trim and then mixing down using the fader for fine
tuning. However, as I commented earlier, sometimes a harsh effect can
introduce the need to:
- re-record the track
- add a gain section after the effect(s) before the fader. This may be as
simple as using the output level the effect already has.
Indeed, digital mixing needs a learning curve that isn't needed for
analog mixing. An analog mixer provides a trim pot and an EQ, but no
effects for each channel, for effects there are inserts and pre and post
fader aux sends. Most people don't own analog mixers with automation.
Users of Linux DAWs should by default add and activate (even if it's
bypassed) FIL-plugin [1] for each channel. And care a little bit about
old school audio mixing. E.g what's the mind of using a compressor for
each channel and fading in and out and in and out during a song?
All you need is FIL-plugins parametric EQ post effects, pre fader, not
