9.3: AUX VCA GROUPS
MUTE & VCA GROUPS > AUX VCA GROUPS
The VCA Groups on the console are normally used to control groups of the input channel faders, for use by FOH
engineers. In this case they are used to group mono and/or stereo channels together under control of a single master
fader, for easier control during a mix.
For the Monitor mix engineer, controlling channel faders is of secondary importance to controlling Aux sends from
channels, and so the functionality of VCA Groups has been extended to control of groups of Aux sends as well as
channel faders.
Because there can be up to 32 Auxiliary sends congured on the console, this means that there are up to 32 sets of
VCA groups (each with up to 16 Group Masters), in addition to the set of main channel fader VCA groups.
VCA control of Auxes is only available by activating the Follow Output Solo [FLW] key next to the master faders. The
pair of [FLW] keys for the VST Encoder Rows will not access this function.
It is possible to control only one Aux mix via its VCA masters at any one time.
When setting up Auxiliary VCAs, it is possible to turn the Aux VCA masters mode on or off for each VCA Master, so
‘normal’ VCAs can still be available.
