Chapter 8: Outputs and Output Routing 85
Channel Strips Show VCA Contribution
The effective gain of any channel is equal to the combination
of its individual channel fader, plus any (all) VCA level
changes that affect that channel.
Input and output channels display the net effect of VCA level
(effective gain) on-screen. This lets you keep track of what all
currently assigned VCAs are doing to channels and busses at
all times.
On-Screen VCA Indication
VENUE displays effective gain as a second, transparent fader
cap on-screen in the fader displays of both the Inputs and Out-
puts pages.
Selected Channel When the currently selected channel is un-
der VCA control, the net effect of all its assigned VCAs is
shown in the form of a transparent fader cap.
Inputs and Outputs Pages In the Inputs and Outputs pages,
red “ghost” fader caps appear below the fader displays of
channels that are currently assigned to one or more VCAs.
The opacity of the ghost caps vary with the actual VCA levels:
• Lighter caps indicate smaller amounts of VCA gain.
• Brighter caps indicate larger amounts of VCA gain.
