Hi everyone,
I did a quick search and couldn't find anything, but is there any mention of VCAs coming to DP anytime soon?
Cheers guys.
VCA faders?

Re: VCA faders?
This might be a stupid question but why do you need VCA's? Couldn't you just use an aux track or just group whatever channels you normally would run to a vca? I really don't understand or see any benefit in using them.

I do not know about when they might come to DP, but I have them in Samplitude.
The folks at Magix wrote a pretty nice article about what they are and why you would find them useful here:

Re: VCA faders?
Definitely see the use of them, and I would expect to see them in the next full number upgrade to DPX.
I won't cry or anything if they aren't there, but I don't have dozens of sends usually going when I want to take the over all volume down of the drum tracks etc. some do so...

Re: VCA faders?
If there is no automation in the tracks, display the tracks you want to scale in the mixer, hold down the W key and move a fader. All visible faders move together.
If you have automation in the track, select all and choose Change Continuous Data from the Region menu.
