Using VCA Faders

Right-clicking a VCA Label reveals a drop-down menu that lets you assign faders to or remove faders from that VCA.

Once you’ve assigned multiple faders to a VCA, a dedicated channel strip for that VCA appears at the right side of the Mixer. Making adjustments to the VCA channel strip simultaneously controls all the faders, solo buttons, and mute buttons of all channel strips that are members of that group, as seen below.

VO, and Drum Hit faders that are assigned to that VCA.


When controlling faders belonging to a VCA, you can still move each individual channel strip fader independently to make relative adjustments.

— Channel strip faders only move together when you adjust the VCA fader.

— While the VCA fader is being moved, each individual fader’s relative offset from other faders controlled by the VCA is maintained.
