Re: How important is VCA capability on your mixer?If it is a large format console like an H3000 (your reference) it probably has VCAs, in which case you can mix in the center of the console with them, and not worry about the fact that when mixing with group masters non of your post fade sends track the output level with the direct sound. I have never really understood the fascination with mixing on group masters. If a console or a channel count is too big to mix on the input faders there are probably VCAs to remote control the input faders. I generally only use the DCAs on a PM5D for those inputs on the other layer, I can mix 24 inputs on the input channels.Mac
