DCA
S
A DCA is a means of remotely controlling the trim values of a group of faders. A DCA is not an audio path like a group buss. Rather, it is a
fader that trims other, assigned, faders. This is an outgrowth of classic mixer VCAs.
When moving a DCA fader, the controlled faders do not move; they stay at their original position.
“Ghost faders” show the current level of each channel, as determined by the
offset introduced by the DCA fader. So if the DCA fader remains at zero, then
there is no effect on the controlled fader and no change in channel gain.
A DCA fader move of, say, +5 dB will be indicated by a +5 dB change in the
position of the ghost fader. Still, the channel fader does not move.
DCAs are defined with the Link Group assignments buttons in the
Channel window output section and the Internal section of the
Patch window.
L
IN K BUTTON BEHAVIOR
Only the selected link group is active. Deselecting the Link button disables all link groups. This affects only links, not DCAs. A DCA is always
active, regardless of the link group selection or the status of the Link button.
Links and DCAs are discussed in detail in the Mixer chapter of this user guide.
