Dynamic Control Surface, Not Static - DAW Workflow as a Live Digital Mixer

[Skotacus]

Greetings Githubians,
If I have started this discussion in the wrong spot, please let me know or an Admin can move.
I have to say I am shocked how well the communities grasp of understanding to all of this is and I really appreciate all the work you guys have done to further this niche. I've been dabbling in Arduino for a long time but not even close to as fluent as this community. I have MANY ideas, as you all do, but need to understand if its possible to do what I would like first before I start dabbling. I believe many of the topics I would like help on you all have figured out already. My issue is that I can find plenty on the basic things then jumps straight to areas where the community in the discussion already understand the prerequisites. I don't know if I can hop right into your level so I may need some help or get pointed to examples that work to get started.

First Objective:
I am looking for a way to build an EQ/Compressor/Gate/Gain section type of Control surface that would be dedicated to certain plugins of the same type. Similar to the "Softube Console 1 mkII". For instance I am using Logic Pro X and i would like to setup my template to include all of my tracks (before I buss them) have the same basic plugins. Ill start stock so each track would have in the same position such as, 1. Gain, 2. EQ, 3. Compressor, etc… as an example. I would like to build a control surface that has each of the the parameters on a rotary encoder (or button for a rotary controller to adjust) for quick access. I’m assuming i would have to have a button to select each track first? I have a Behringer X-Touch which is great for levels, panning, solo, mute. As many controllers, when you touch the fader the track is selected in the DAW. Perhaps that can be leveraged for my control surface to work in tandem with that selected track? I have figured out how to map traditional rotary encoders to plugin parameters, however they are dedicated to THAT plugin on THAT specific track they were selected and I can not figure out how to make it more of a global parameter. I did see in Logic i can change the channel number in the assignment section and it would let me control a different track but I am not sure how to use an Arduino to change the Track parameter.

Second Objective
How to pull data from the parameter i would like to adjust. I have seen some examples for Track data but I would like to populate an i2c display to show the information of the EQ/Compressor parameter I would like to change? Not sure all the information I can pull that I can parse it after but i can hopefully display the plugin name that is selected or Track Name, etc…. Would like to display information on LCD Display or LED Rings...

If you know of any links to topics to where to find this, that would be great. I don't know if its possible but would love to find out.

Cheers,
