Dock/S1 VCA Spill Weirdness - or is it just me?
Let's see if I can make sense of this and perhaps someone can confirm this behaviour and / or tell me if I'm just missing something:
(PT2019.10/MacOS 10.14.6/EuCon 20.1/Latest Control Apps/Dock and 1 S1, both with current firmwares; no WiFi on host Mac) - in EuControl, Assign VCA Master to Dock is selected - in EuControl, Auto Spill VCA from Control App Attention is selected - in EuControl, VCA Spill Overrides Layout is selected (BUT there are currently no layouts) - PT Session contains a single VCA, groups members are 12 - 16 tracks of various flavours - On the S1 surface, double-clicking the Sel button causes the expected result: the VCA members spill on the S1 and the Dock fader becomes the VCA master and I can touch / move the VCA master with the channels on the S1 staying on the surface, moving according to the VCA master movement - on the Control App, in Tracks view, touching the VCA track "square" causes the expected result: the VCA members spill on the S1 and Dock fader becomes the VCA master - BUT as soon as I touch the VCA master on the Dock, the spilled faders on the S1 "disappear" (i.e. I go back to seeing the channels that were there before causing the spill by touching the track "square" in Tracks view on the App) - similarly, if the VCA master is the attentioned fader on the Dock and I double-click on the Sel button there, the VCA members spill on the S1 BUT as soon as I touch the VCA master on the Dock, the spilled faders "disappear" and I see the channels that were there, "pre-spill" So, am I missing something? Do I have a EuControl attention setting set incorrectly? I should be able to grab the VCA master on the Dock and still see the members of the VCA on the S1 so that I can level channels independently of the VCA movement, no? Thanks for reading. Barden P.S. The speed at which I have to double-click on the VCA Master Sel button on the S1 still seems to be very unpredictable...even when slowing my double-clicks down considerably, as mentioned in other posts here. |

Re: Dock/S1 VCA Spill Weirdness - or is it just me?
I don't have the behavior you describe over here, but I am on PT 2019.12.
I do agree about the seemingly random double click speed for VCA's on the S1. Hoping this gets ironed out in the update coming soon. |

Rick...
Big thanks...it seems that that is exactly what it was. I had focused on the Preferences page. Lynn... Thanks for checking it out! Enjoy the holiday Monday! Barden |
