Of all the DAW packages I’ve tried, Studio One is the only one that has these issues. The full level of control is faders, PAFL, Sel and mute. All will do that. Presonus and A&H have both told me the same thing regarding the unusable faders, it’s just something to do with the way Studio one works. They build their own dedicated DAW control mixer, the CS18ai, it only works with Studio One, so what ever they are doing, it is different.

The symptoms you have are exactly the same as mine. I can install the Qu mixer, but the faders will not respond correctly to the movement on screen nor with the on screen faders respond correctly to the physical fader movement. And yes, you cannot read or write automation. I believe this is a known issue with the Qu mixers as a DAW controller with Studio One. I’ve tried everything including installing a standard non profiled “control surface’ within Studio one then manually mapping each possible knob or fader. It worked, but the desk wouldn’t show the on screen fader movement. There is known an issue using S1. I spoke with tech support on the phone, they simply don’t recommend using it. That was the reason I bought a brand new Qu mixer last week. I had to give up in the end and stuck it on eBay. Brilliant mixer, dreadful DAW controller

You might be able to connect a Qu mixer to studio one, but it’s functionality very poor. The fader do not respond and writing or reading automation is impossible. I spoke to A&H tech about this and was bluntly told that they do not support Studio One. The Qu is a great mixer, but it’s a lousy DAW controller. I have had listed a 6 day old Qu-16 on eBay for bought for DAW control.
