You have a bunch of faders \u2013 one for each instrument &#8211; and you move \u2018em all to a position where your mix sounds great. Easy, right?<br \/>\nWell, in theory, thats correct \u2013 but there are a bunch of issues that are in the way, such as the following ones, all of which can be resolved by the use of VCA Faders and Groups.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Different setups, different problems, same solution.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Just a few examples of where VCA Faders and Groups can provide help:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cI don\u2019t even have a mixing console. I do this all in the computer with a mouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cI have a DAW controller with faders, but there is always more tracks than faders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cI have the largest SSL console available. But fader 1 and 96 are too far apart. And I only have two hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cThe further I progress with my mix, the louder the mix gets, often to the point of distortion. At that point I need to pull all of them down by the same amount. As I\u2019m trying this, the balance also ends up different and I have to start over again.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Introducing VCA Faders &#8211; structure for your mix.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A quick example. You can start a mix by balancing only your drums, then assign all of these drum instruments to the same VCA Fader. Now you are able to control all of the drums with <strong>just one fader<\/strong>. The balance you have set will stay intact, and should you need to turn an individual drum instrument up or down, you can still do that, at <strong>any time<\/strong>.<br \/>\nAs a next step, you might add various synthesiser sounds \u2013 pads, a lead riff, some melodies \u2013 until you got a good balance. The synths are communicating well which each other but once you add vocals you find that the synths are too loud and the drums are collectively too low. At this point you control each group consisting of drums, synths and vocals with just <strong>ONE VCA fader<\/strong> each. It definitely makes the mixing process a lot easier.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=\u00bbdanger\u00bb icon_fontawesome=\u00bbfa fa-info\u00bb]Essentially, a <strong>VCA FADER<\/strong> is a fader that controls a group of individual faders, and this <strong>VCA GROUP<\/strong> has its own balance within itself. And while the VCA Fader changes the level of each fader in the group proportionally, you can still access the individual faders within the group and make changes to the balance within the VCA GROUP.[\/vc_message][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=\u00bbhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/FThmCYOHMkw\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><b>Here\u2019s a quick video of VCA faders in ProTools 12.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5w81K1XKO8o\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you work with \u00a0Avid\u00a0ProTools, Apple Logic Pro X or Steinberg Cubase 8, your DAW has \u201cVCA Faders\u201d or \u201cVCA Groups\u201d. All of these DAW programs have added VCA Faders to the feature list in recent updates.<br \/>\nThe confusing thing is that earlier versions of Cubase, Logic and ProTools had features that looked similar, but didn\u2019t provide the exact same feature-set as VCA Faders. In other words \u2013 the software makers didn\u2019t get it quite right the first time around, and they\u2019re now fixing an old mistake.<br \/>\nUnfortunately this shows that the inventors of these programs didn\u2019t really get input from professional mix engineers in the beginning. Ask any pro who has worked with a large analogue console \u2013 VCA Faders and Groups were one of <strong>THE BIG advantages<\/strong> these always put them ahead of mixing \u201cin the box\u201d.<br \/>\nLike many features we enjoy in todays digital DAW world, the functionality of VCA Faders go back to an invention from the analogue world which was essential to the development of early synthesizers like the Minimoog. To fully understand what is going on, let\u2019s get into the details of the underlying analogue technology.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What is a VCA? History + Terminology<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b><i>VCA = Voltage Controlled Amplifier<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A VCA is an analogue circuit &#8211; an amplifier whose volume is controlled by an incoming control voltage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b><i>VCA as used in analogue synthesizers<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a classic analogue synthesizer, for example a Minimoog, the VCA is controlled by an envelope generator &#8211; I\u2019m confident you\u2019re familiar with the classic \u201cADSR\u201d-envelope generator. ADSR stands for \u201cAttack, Decay, Sustain, Release\u201d and describes the volume of a note once triggered by a key on the musical keyboard of an analogue synthesizer (or for that matter, by an incoming MIDI note).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a class=\"dt-single-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedbymarcmozart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ADSR.jpg\" data-dt-img-description=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14520 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mixedbymarcmozart.cdnport.com\/2022\/04\/ADSR-1024x725.jpg\" alt=\"adsr\" width=\"1024\" height=\"725\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b><i>VCA circuit as used in analogue consoles<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While the volume of a channel in a mixing console can easily be controlled by running the audio directly through a fader in the mixer which acts as a variable resistor, the manufacturers of professional mixing consoles wanted a more flexibel way to control the volume of each channel. Thats why they added a VCA circuit to each mixer channel (and also the master bus). The VCA circuit could be controlled by any device that would generate the necessary control voltage for the VCA circuit. For example, this could be a range from 0V to 5V which controls the volume from silence to full level. The voltage can be provided from your traditional channel fader, or alternatively by a mix computer that records fader movements and plays them back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The classic SSL mix computer of the E\/G-Series consoles is based on this technology. Both the mix computer and the fader of each channel can send a control voltage to the VCA (which is a circuit board located on each mixer channel).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The heart of the VCA circuit is a VCA chip. The ones used in the classic SSL consoles were originally manufactured by dbx, and later replaced by VCA chips of manufacturer THATS. If you\u2019re a DIY-nerd, you can purchase those integrated circuits in online electronic shops like Mouser. Different generations of these VCA chips are said to have different audio characteristics, although in theory we want them to sound as neutral as possible.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_message][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>VCA Faders<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On a classic E\/G-Series SSL-Console, EVERY large fader is a VCA-Fader. Audio NEVER passes through the faders &#8211; the faders just send a control voltage for the VCA, which can also be recorded to the mix computer in real-time. The mix computer essentially has an A\/D and D\/A converter which translates and stores the changing voltages for each SMPTE frame of the music\u2019s timeline. Similar to what a DAW does today &#8211; only that it records control-voltages instead 24bit audio &#8211; not bad for a 1977 computer, right?<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=\u00bb14788&#8243; img_size=\u00bblarge\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>VCA Groups<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to a fader for each channel, the classic large SSL consoles always had 8 extra faders that control 8 VCA groups. Each large channel fader could be assigned to one of these 8 groups which would (via the VCA group fader) act as a master control for all the channels assigned to each VCA group. Again, no audio signal ever passed through these faders &#8211; all they do is provide a control voltage that controls the voltage of the channels according to how they are assigned to the 8 available VCA groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But there\u2019s a super-tricky thing the SSL console developers invented for the VCA group faders\u2026 when the group fader is set to default (= 0dB), they add 0V to the VCA circuits of the assigned groups. If you turn the VCA group fader higher, it adds voltage (= volume) to the channels, if you turn the VCA group fader lower than 0dB, it sends a negative voltage which means it subtracts from the control voltage so all assigned VCAs reduce their relative volume by the same perceived amount. Very simple but effective!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>VCA Trim<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The use of VCAs in analogue consoles would solve another very common problem every user of analogue consoles would frequently run across. Remember how you sometimes end up pushing all faders higher and higher, and at one point overload your master bus?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This is where the \u201cVCA trim\u201d comes into play\u2026 it\u2019s basically just one knob that globally adds or subtracts voltage to ALL VCAs in the system.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00bb100px\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When to use what.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Audio Subgroups<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The most basic audio subgroup every mixer and DAW software has is the Stereobus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But more commonly, we associate audio subgroups with a routing where a number of tracks are submixed before these different groups get summed together in the Stereobus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Audio Subgroups are great for situations when you want to \u201cglue\u201d various elements together with processors like compressors and saturators, or you want to apply similar reverbs on all of them at the same time. A Drum-Subgroup is a great example for the \u201cglue\u201d-situation, where as a subgroup for Backing Vocals is very convenient to add the same kind of Reverb FX on all of them at once.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If all you want to do is have one fader for ALL the drums, or ALL the vocals, but your not planning on any \u201cgroup\u201d processing, you\u2019re better off using VCA Faders.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fader Groups<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When several faders in your mixer are \u201clinked\u201d, many DAWs call this a \u201cFader Group\u201d or \u201cFader Link\u201d. The individual faders can have different levels, but they are all linked. When you bring one fader up, the others are brought up as well, proportional to their original settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Many early DAWs had this feature, but as soon as you wanted to change one of the faders within the group, but not the others, you had to temporarily remove this one fader from the Fader group, change the level, then add it to the group again. Which is of course doable, but not convenient and definitely preventing \u201cintuitive\u201d changes \u201con the fly\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>VCA Faders<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VCA Faders are very similar to \u201cFader Groups\u201d with the only difference being that you can change the individual level of every fader at any time while they still remain linked to the \u201cfader group\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00bb100px\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to create a VCA-Fader stack.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Logic Pro X<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Select the tracks you want to group to a VCA fader.
