Routing folder+VCA
I really would appreciate if the routing folder would also have the VCA functionality.
It would be great if it would be possible to Spill Routing Folder on the D-Command like its possible with the VCA's. The Shift+F is not the same as it only lets to visualise tracks in folder.

Re: Routing folder+VCA
You can spill the folder by click on screen and it will spill on the D Command. The Icon protocol is no longer developed, it's all gone to Eucon, so you won't ever get that function as an Icon shortcut.

Re: Routing folder+VCA
Could you elaborate on this? Do you mean the folder members will show on an ICON console once the folder is opened, or is there an actual "spill" type of function where it'll spill its members across the console when clicked?

Re: Routing folder+VCA
Sorry Ryan, misleading term I used, what I mean is the D Command will reflect what is happening on screen, if you open a folder the tracks will show on the D Command

Re: Routing folder+VCA
Drats!
I guess if I have a "bank to selected track" type of option, or get in the habit of ctrl shift clicking the folder track as I shift f it, it'll act the same. Can't give up my D-Command no matter how cool EuControl is looking, it's just too solid!

Re: Routing folder+VCA
I think its more a matter of functionality. The routing folder track has a visual grouping, editing abilities plus the full functionality of the Aux track (up to Atmos config) incl volume, solo and mute functions. The VCA is only limited to the physical grouping without any routing (even less than the basic folder track can do).
While I am aware that the developing and support for the icons is at the EOL, I don't think it is different on Eucon's. My point that it would be great to have a track so called "VCA Routing Folder".

To me, a Basic Folder with integrated VCA fader makes the most sense. I feel that this would be especially doable, since the Basic Folder has no fader currently. This would allow creating a VCA group simply by dragging that tracks into the folder or using the shortcut, rather than creating the group, creating the VCA fader, then assigning the group to the VCA fader.

Re: Routing folder+VCA
I am looking for exactly the same as the OP!
I use an Artist Mix and an iPad. Before folders I used VCAs basically as population groups, having the iPad only show VCA Masters and selecting the VCA (eg drums) I want to work with. The group members get spilled to my little surface and everything else gets out of the way. When deselecting the VCA everything comes back. This is a very fast way to work, live consoles often have this feature. The VCA faders would stay at unity 99% of the time, I would use auxes or simply groups for that. Now with folder tracks I am able to hide folder members and it gets mirrored on the surface, but that is so much slower. To have it VCA-style I basically need to mirror my folders (which are absolutely awesome btw!) with VCAs which is a bit cumbersome. I would like a checkmark in the Eucon settings to enable "VCA-style spill when selecting folder tracks". Only the folder members get spilled to the surface with the folder master as last channel. Signalflow stays aux-style for folders, it's only about the spilling. Of course, when no folder is selected the screen layout gets mirrored by the surface (like it is now). That would be sooo cool |

As far as I know, they are planning on adding Folder-spill into a future EuCon version. My understanding is that this was a more involved programming task, so they wanted to get the more basic type of folder support done first and out, before starting on folder spill.
