VCA Functionality
There are two buttons on the right section of DLC
that are applicable in the Analogue Layer when
using analogue automation.
AUTO SAFE
Select Auto Safe then press Select on any
channel that you want to completely isolate from
automation control. Ideal for trying out a new ride
before recording a pass of automation
UNITY
Select Unity then press select on any channel that
you want to fix at unity gain (0dB).

VCA FADER
This fader is not in the audio path of the console
but rather acts as a control fader, sending
D.C. control voltage changes, which provides
attenuation, mute and +10 dB of gain “in-hand”
above unity for the analogue audio path.
The VCA analogue automation functionality is
particularly useful for automating the volume of a
signal post analogue dynamics processing.
