VCA issue

[bonzerboy]

Been awhile and pulled up a session from a few months ago. Long story short I thought I had all Stereo VCAa and it looks like some converted to mono?

VCAs are not stereo or mono, they do not pass audio. :)

As Teej said, VCA groups do not pass audio, they are just remote controls for a group of faders. The meters on the VCA fader strips are just an indication of the meters of the highest metering channel in that group.

They will show a mono or stereo meter.

It depends on the tracks assigned to that VCA. If its all mono, or a mix of mono and stereo, the VCA will show a mono meter. If its all stereo tracks, the VCA will show a stereo meter. Metering on VCA's is somewhat meaningless since no audio is passing thru a VCA.

If you notice, when you create a new track and select VCA as the track type, the Mono/Stereo choice disappears
