Description

Voltage Controlled Amplifier A VCA, or Voltage Controlled Amplifier, is an amplifier that varies its gain depending on a control voltage. In a mixer this applies to signal routing and channel strips. The purpose of a VCA is to allow you to turn up or down a group of faders while maintaining the relative levels throughout the group.

Due to some deal's going on on the ARt pro VLA brought up some questions.

Right now I only have a RNC which I believe is a digital/vca type compressor. I do trackinto a DAw, however I mix in a hybrid fashion of using stems to outboard mixer, and bring it back in for final tweaking/limiting etc.
