Assign VCA to Control Send Only
In my vocal production template I have all of my instruments bussed to auxes at the end of my session. I send from these to an output leading to a headphone amp in my booth.
I was hoping I could map a VCA fader to control just send. Is that possible? I have the tracks grouped for this already. I'm using the short-throw send faders on-screen right now but would prefer to use the typical long-throw track faders if possible. Thanks. |
Re: Assign VCA to Control Send Only
You can use a Master Fader to control the overall level of a bus (or output). It's a workaround for a VCA for sends. I am missing this to. I think a VCA of a common mix group should be able to have sends controlling the sends of the group members. A lot of consoles can do this for decades...

If you don't need the mix output of those auxes, just the headphone sends you could do post fade sends at 0 and use the VCA to control the volume of the Auxes.

The film consoles I know can do that. AMS Neve DFC, Harisson MPC and SSL Avant. They don't call them VCAs. They also can control the EQ, Dynamics and Pan of their members. I bet Euphonic System 5 can do this too.

Re: Assign VCA to Control Send Only
Here is one more way around it. On the track in question, Set the track output to none and add a pre-fade send that feeds your main output. Now, assign your VCA and leave the headphone send as post-fader. When you move the VCA, the headphone level will change, but the pre-fade send to your main outputs will not.

Nice one!

And never set your output to none unless you want to spend your time trying to figure out why your latency compensation isn’t working right. Pro Tools does not like that (or setting outputs to dummy outputs that go nowhere.) |
