I used to use my FW-1884 as audio and MIDI interface. Ever since I got my RME UFX, the FW-1884 is mostly a controller (fader, transport, pan, mute & solo) and I have the FW1884 light piped into the RME for aux inputs if I ever need them.
 
Of course FW1884 is connected via firewire.

I don't think ANYTHING (HW cntrl surface) properly controls prochannel.  As I've posted before, the best you'll get with any available control surfaces is fader, pan, solo, mute support,   Nothing else is reliable

Since you have Alphatrack, I think you should be able to control ProChannel EQ reliable...
Also ProChannel can be controlled with ACT, setup is a bit tricky but once it works it works fine.
 

No you're right but its more trouble than its worth really.   The mouse works fine for one knob at a time operation which is all you get with Alphatrack or many other interfaces.   I mainly use the alphatrack for bus faders since it very easy to navigate too.   The FW1884 s a PITA for busses.    Also I use it while tracking for transport (I track in a different space than where I mix and on a laptop)
