Do any other DAWs do this ?

Studio One and Pro Tools have collapsing and expanding faders

I don't know about Studio One, but…
If by collapsing you mean HIDDEN (two different concepts, right?), then yes Pro Tools allows this. If by collapsing you mean "make smaller", then Pro Tools can only do this globally for ALL mixer channels (Narrow View).

IMO the simplest proposal made over the years is to allow all bussed channels feeding a specific bus to be hidden - yea, you have to bus channels first, and yea it's not going to cover every case, but it's a start and would help greatly.

Next, we need to be able to totally disable a channel AND hide it from view, to put it "on ice" for example so it won't use CPU while we're deciding whether it belongs in the mix or not (or to implement a sort of track 'freeze' function).

Studio One has the skinny faders setup which you can toggle back and forth like Pro Tools in the mix window. Though I never use it cause I hate the skinny fader look

I would have thought that any confusion with my terminology would have been addressed by the attached png mock-up. Folded, collapsed, hidden, whatever you want to call it, the request was for a similar behavior to be implemented as occurs with the folding triangle in the sequencer and the rack (also expressed in the first post). You do know what I'm taking about, yes?

My bad, I seriously thought you meant track hiding, which is also something badly needed in Reason.
Sorry for the hijack, carry on!

This is one of my major feature requests.

Ableton do it too.

+1 on that!
