VCA Fader Settings

VCA fader channels are different from the default fader channels.

Instead of the panner, the VCA faders display the link group to which they are assigned. The VCA faders also provide a pop-up menu that allows you to change the VCA fader settings.



  1. Link group number

  2. Link group name

  3. VCA fader pop-up menu

  4. Peak meter that displays the summed up level of all channel meters in the link group

  5. Fader cap

The VCA fader pop-up menu provides the following options:

Edit Link Group Settings

Allows you to change the link group settings.

VCA Fader Controls Link Group: <link group name>

Shows the link group that the VCA fader controls. You can assign the VCA fader to a different link group. This removes the VCA fader from the current group. You can also remove the VCA fader assignment altogether. In this case, select None. In all cases, you must specify if you want the linked channels to revert to their original automation.

Combine Automation of VCA and Linked Channels

Combines the automation curves of VCA fader and linked channels in the Project window. This has the effect that the original automation curves of the linked channels are no longer used. In the Project window, the automation of the VCA fader is reset to the static value line. In the MixConsole, the VCA fader is reset to the 0 position.

Linked Channels

Shows which channels are linked in the link group.
