VCA faders also draw multiple and accessible automation on each of those allocated tracks. Very useful for any further automation tweeking of tracks!
It finally makes sense
Best video on the topic I've seen! :-)
This is the only explanation I've come across that answers my question for "why not just use a bus"? Simple, effective. Thanks Randolf!
Randolph :) I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Nice, I’d never really considered the possibility of multiplexing so to speak, having vca faders overlap each other in what they control, as per your diagram. I will have to remember to start using that idea! All the other ones I did know of, but you explained it so much more efficiently than the time it took me to cobble together years ago!
Thank you! If you ever have ideas for topics you'd like me to cover, let me know. It takes time for me to put stuff together, but I love getting ideas from folks.
So I can use VCA to control sounds that I would put into a bus rather then create a bus, like for ardour since it doesn’t have bus latency compensation
Yes! That's exactly when you'd use it.
Remember that VCA's don't carry/pass audio though. It's only for managing other faders.
AdmiralBumblebee right I understand
Can you rename piano roll note names in DP? I have seen this feature only in Reaper and Live (using the midi effects racks).
In the main MIDI editor you can't rename notes to my knowledge, however DP does have a drum editor where you can rename rows.
Damn I'm mixing in DP9 and I just wondering for VCA functionality in order to don't mess up the automation made in the tracks...
You can send to a bus to an Aux track and automate the Aux track.
Also, auxs and busses use CPU. I haven't tested it, but I'm thinking VCA faders would be easier on CPU.
You are correct, but the CPU usage differences between an aux/buss and a VCA fader are very very minimal. Not worth considering on modern CPUs.
Good to know. I often end up doing very large projects with extensive, complicated bussing. It might add up in that case...we'll see. Thanks for this video! There's some confusion out there about VCAs. This helps a lot.
Hi there, Would you happen to know how to transfer DP sessions to pro tools?
Utilize the AAF support. Manual has more information.
How can I add an instrument to an already existing VCA group?
VCAs operate as groups in DP. You add the track to the VCA group (in the groups window) as you would for any other group.
@@AdmiralBumblebee Thank you. I found the way then in the user manual. It was not under "VCA" as I could expect, but under "Tracks Group"… Some chapters later :(
(I have the DP user manual!)
1:00 🍓For FL users, there is no option to create a VCA Fader, but if you do a parallel processing, just route both [DRUM] channel and [DRUM_PARALLEL] to a empty channel, name it [DRUM_VCA] then route [DRUM_VCA] to the sub-mix bus you want. But remember don't put any effects on this [DRUM_VCA] channel, and always set it back to default level. And do the leveling on [DRUM] channel.
this daw look horrible on 4k display hidpi..they didnt put no time into it far as how studio one and bitwig design look
It does need some work for sure, but they are making progress.
@@AdmiralBumblebee yea but dp been out for years iiiiì
@@LossLeadas You are correct. There's no good excuse really, but I do know that they are making progress.
@@AdmiralBumblebee i guess after we paid trilli9ns of dollars when we couldve paid a daw who already up to par o. What you need to accomplish
There's finally much better scaling in DP 11.
