Hey I've been thinking about setup of a new template.  I generally use a fair bit of bussing for submix/groups. Like grouping the kik and snare and tom drums to their own bus, then feeding those busses to a drums bus. Ditto for vocs guitars keys ect.

Hey, Guys Tone Empire released a new plugin , Its called Model 5000 ( API 2500 x 2 clone? ), Its free for the first 15 days. They are running it on Intro Sale - $49 ( Original Price: $99 ). I think its a good deal.

Here's another great vid I found from Kraznet onYT...
This one explains using VCA faders in Samplitude Pro X 2 and later. This is a great video for those who want to know about VCA mixing, or who perhaps have questions about what VCA is and what it does.

I borrowed this from the DUC. I hope it makes more sense than I do at explaining things. YMMV as does each DAW. I do NOT mean this as a directive to send anyone towards Pro Tools as a choice of their DAW. Since this method was taught to me it has opened up my mixes and made my work flow somewhat easier with drastic results.

This will shed some light on Samplitude > Mixing with VCA’s
http://www.Samplitude.com/en/tutorials/Samplitude-academy-mixing-with-vcas.html

The VCA fader in Samplitude Pro X2, whose usability and comfort is based on large analog mixing consoles, is natively integrated in the DAW. The VCA fader allows you to control all relevant levels when mixing your project. Each existing channel strip can be easily turned into a VCA fader. You can also assign individual channels to a VCA group and control them using the VCA fader in the mixer.

From Sequoia's website:

i realize most people prefer moving fader and there is a general conception that it is less degrading of one's signal. however are there not sufficient and high performance VCA's now a-days that are up to par with moving fader? is this conception primarily based on the old implementation of VCA's in older consoles?

hi eveyone I'm the new guy with a old question how would I use the vca automation on a Tascam m3700 with Cubase sx, I want to mix in the box(cubase) so would this vca help control sx faders at all please help !

I dont really understand the mechanical (and thus sonic) differences between these 2 types of compressors. I am starting to look into vocal compression and I am trying to understand the science behind compressors.
