VCA Fader Automation

VCA fader automation influences the automation of link groups.

When you create VCA faders, their tracks in the Project window contain the static value line that is default for all automation tracks. Once you start writing automation, the static value line turns into an automation curve.

Whenever you write automation for a VCA fader of a link group, it affects the volume automation of the linked channels. This has different effects:

If a linked channel has no automation, the VCA fader automation curve is automatically added to the automation tracks of the linked channels. The automation tracks of the linked channels show the automation that is applied through the VCA fader.
If a linked channel has volume automation, the VCA fader automation modifies the existing volume automation of the linked channel. The VCA fader automation and the linked channel automation are combined. The automation tracks show the original automation and the combined automation of VCA fader and linked channels.
