Showing VCA Members
VENUE SC48 lets you quickly view members (assigned chan-
nels) for Groups, VCAs and Mute Groups.
To view VCA membership:

Press the VCA switch to bank the Output faders to VCAs.
2
Press and hold the Default (Alt) switch, then press the Multi
Assign switch in the Output section. The Multi Assign switch
LED lights to indicate Multi Assign mode.
VCA assignments are shown in each channel strip LCD with a
flashing number (the number indicates the VCA to which
each channel is assigned).
To exit Show VCA Members mode:
Press the Multi Assign switch or the Cancel button.
Using VCAs
To adjust the levels of VCA members:
1
Press the VCAs switch to assign control of the VCAs to the
Output faders.
2
Move the fader for the VCA whose members you want to ad-
just.
To solo the members of a VCA:
Press the Solo switch on the VCA channels whose members
you want to solo so that the Solo switch is lit.
Input channel solo mode (PFL or AFL) follows the current set-
ting on the Options > Busses page.
To mute the members of a VCA:
Press the Mute switch on the VCA channels whose members
you want to mute. The Mute LEDs on channels assigned to the
VCA flash to indicate they are implicitly muted by the VCA.
VCA Spill
You can “spill” a VCA to have only its assigned channels
banked to the Input section. VCA Spill lets you quickly access
only those channels assigned to a specific VCA and immedi-
ately focus on those channels, without needing to search
through the input fader banks.
To spill a VCA:
1
Select the VCA output fader bank.
2
Double-press a VCA Select switch to spill its members across
the input faders.
The selected VCA Select switch LED flashes, as do the current
input Bank (A-D) or FX Return (1-8) switch. Any Bank Safed
channels are hidden (though their Bank Safe status is unal-
tered).
If the VCA contains fewer than 16 members the channels are
right-justified within the input fader bank, in order to bring
channels as close as possible to the center of the console. Un-
used channel strips are left blank and inactive.
If the VCA contains more than 16 members only the first 16
members are shown.
To cancel VCA Spill, do any of the following:
• Press or double-press the Select switch on the currently
spilled VCA.
• Press any Bank (A-D) switch.
• Press the FX Returns 1-8 switch.
• Press a GEQ switch.
• In the on-screen dialog, click
Exit VCA Spill
.
Selecting Other VCAs While Spilled
Selecting another VCA while spill mode is active automati-
cally spills that VCA.
Displays settings in the Options > Interaction page.
Input channel solo mode (PFL or AFL) follows the current
setting on the Options > Buses page.
