Excluding VCA Slave Tracks from VCA Master Automation

When you are writing automation on a VCA Master track, the corresponding moves will appear on the composite automation playlist of each of its slave tracks. If you want to exclude a slave track from an automation pass, write-enable the slave track for automation.

To exclude a slave track from VCA Master track automation pass:

1 Write-enable the VCA Master track for automation (Write, Touch or Latch mode).

2 Write-enable the slave track you want to exclude for automation (Write mode).

3 Make sure other slave tracks that you want to include in the pass are not write-enabled for automation.

4 Start playback.

5 Move the fader on the VCA Master track.

6 Stop playback.

Automation is written on the excluded slave track such that the fader moves on the VCA Master track are canceled out, and the fader on the excluded slave track does not move on subsequent playback.
