OK…
I’m trying to employ a simple VCA grouping for the first time ( In Nuendo ) on 6 DX traxs.
Audio channels are “shift-selected " and thus highlighted in the mix window.
Now I am searching for the " add vca to selected tracks”. I’m right clicking on a the selected track , but for the life of me I can not find that choice !
Add VCA fader=yes, add Group/fx channel =yes.
Where is that bloody option ??
And…is there a way to superimpose / overlay automation data and waveform on a single audio track in project ???
Painful to use yet another project lane just for that…
All these might be just holiday hangover, but really…I am overlooking something obvious ?
Please slap me out of it,
This stumped me too. I did it through the mixer (there is a VCA section that you can view), selecting all the tracks I wanted to link to the VCA (kind of like groups or sends).
And that seem to be the only way to create a VCA group ?
I would simply like to link my audio channels and with a single command add a VCA master to them .
I was not “suggesting”…simply looking for the command
From the Nuendo 7 Operation Manual :
Creating VCA Faders for a Selection of Channels
You can select several channels and automatically create and connect a VCA fader.
NOTE
You can also connect VCA faders to a selection of channels using the VCA rack.
PROCEDURE
1.Select several channels in the MixConsole.
2.Right-click one of the selected channels.
3.In the context menu, select Add VCA Fader to Selected Channels
This is also shown in the N7 new features video.
Yes, there is the other way…display in mixer rack section, click each selected channels and add them one by one.
Is this just me ? Why not the simple quick method ?
Have a great 2016 Sorry > edit < the video was actually Cubase 8 . Too bad.
So, as far as I see it, we currently don’t really know if it’s supposed to be implemented or if the documentation is incorrect. I’m guessing that on the map but delayed. No reason why it wouldn’t be included if it worked at one point… I could be wrong of course.
I now have 7.035 in and using it. The track context menu does not have that option, period.
The manual in this case is incorrect and that led me to searching hi & low and posting here.
However, all this doesn’t stop me to continue using the software.
Had a few days off during the holidays and decided to update my old and dusty PT license to 12.4 for the last minute special grab.
Their VCA is functioning fully and so far is solid. Mute, coalesce working.
And choices for waveform and automation data display on a single audio lane is so bloody useful.
Downside to this is, I’ll now have to relearn the whole workflow and key commands all over.
I no longer waste half a day looking for it.
Yes, we can link through yet another rack item for more clutter. But in a short test I did, it does what it supposed to do…until you need to merge linked tracks own auto data with the one of the VCA’s . !!
Looking for another item in the VCA fader context drop down ( per user manual) = nada.
Here again the Steinberg promo info is misleading, causing more time wasting and a frustration.
Why Oh Why is the second maintenance update couldn’t catch that ?
Please some one correct me if I’m off on this…it would be appreciated.
Never mind…resolved as posted in the VCA issues thread.
To access the functions you’ll have to go up in the plugins plane…yet another misplaced and not so logical function.
Why they’re keep doing this ?
To claim “new” workflow improvements ?
