I may have a setting wrong, so please forgive me if I have.
I'm having problems getting the Faderport 8 to follow my track selections with a mouse in Studio One 3.
I only have audio tracks, vca tracks, and folders, surely when I use the mouse to select a track in Studio One, the Faderport 8 should follow to the same track?

Any help would be appreciated.

It should and it does here.   Make sure that your FP 8 is in Native Mode and also make sure the UC driver is up to date and after doing that if you see a notification for a firmwear update in UC, update the firmwear for the FP8.

Actually, it does not. You have to press the rotary knob on the FP8 after clicking on a different channel / track with the mouse in order for the FP8 to jump to the newly selected one.
