Add VCA Fader

Cubase
1

I’m wondering what is this for…
I add a VCA Fader track and there is no fader, you can’t do anything on this track/channel.
Any tips that i’m not aware?

Yes … assign the VCA Fader to at least one track. Then you can use it. And have a search in the PDF manual: VCA. :wink:

Or look here New VCA Faders, Wave Meters & More | New Features in Cubase Pro 8 - YouTube

or here Cubase 8 Automation using VCA faders NEW FEATURE!!!! - YouTube

Sorry i was not clear.
Adding VCA’s to selected channels is clear and controlling volumes BUT add only a vca does do anything.
Why is this feature there?

To allow you to create unassigned VCAs (e.g. for a template) to which you can subsequently add faders. Simply to accomodate varying workflows.

Ok to understand what you said :
i.e
1 create add VCA channel 2 then select some audio/instruments/midi/fx channels to link to this channel?
This don’t work for me.There in no option to link to that track.
Maybe i did not get exact the whole thing about adding VCA fader ONLY.
I mean when i select some tracks and click on “add selected channels to VCA fader” its working like a charm.
But when i first create a VCA fader then it is unusable for me at this point.
Sorry but i really don’t get it.
