Mixing : Automation : Coalescing VCA Automation : Duplicating a Slave Track

Duplicating a Slave Track
When you duplicate a slave track without duplicating its group assignments, the VCA automation is coalesced to the duplicate track. The coalesced duplicate plays back exactly as if it were in the VCA group.
To coalesce automation from a VCA Master to a single slave track by duplicating the track:
1 Select the slave track whose automation you want to coalesce.
2 Choose Track > Duplicate.
3 In the Duplicate Track dialog, deselect Group Assignments.
4 Click OK.
The composite Volume level and Mute state are coalesced to the duplicate track. The original slave track is preserved, and the VCA group is unchanged.
