TrackControl is a free plug-in from DMG Audio which they describe as "All the utilities from the top and bottom of a console channel, plus MS panning, time compensation and more".
TrackControl is designed to be a general-purpose utility to make life easier in a session. Once upon a time, we’d have a large format console with a bunch of controls at the top and bottom of each strip. Nowadays in a DAW, you can often find yourself reaching for several different plug-ins to replace that standard edge-of-channel functionality.
