    Just started playing with DCAs. When I assign some inputs to a DCA, then adjust the fader on said DCA, _all_ outputs seem to be affected. That’s the intended behavior? Sure this is a live-sound newb question that is more about DCAs in general than this implementation. Thanks for any help.

    If anyone has any pointers to read up on DCAs in general, e.g, the way it’s displayed on the inputs (original fader positions retained, and a separate cursor for the DCA changes), also greatly appreciated. It kinda makes sense but I’d like to feel more confident. I’m a musician (albeit with a technical background) doing sound for my bands, power-cramming. 😉 Thanks!

    Yes, any channel (that is in a DCA) will have its signal level offset by the DCA. So, if channel 1 is at 0DB, channel 2 is at -10DB, and DCA is set to -5 then channel 1 is effectively -5 and channel 2 is effectively -15. Keith does a good job at explaining, and showing how, DCA’s work on the CQ in the 1.2 video
