OK we have seen MANY posts asking for Group Spills and also for DCA Metering with much discussion on the later (what would be metered etc). But how about a new concept altogether:
A group that can also have Digital Control of its assigned members – just like a DCA. Lets call it a D Group that has normal group functions such as assignable members, Group mix level metering, processing select etc but with the difference being that it’s LEVEL functions behave like a DCA on its members. In other words – the Group level would be internally set at Unity gain and the Fader would instead become a DCA level control of its members providing DCA benefits including Spill functionality, and proportional control of member post fade aux sends.
How the MUTE button on this new D Group would work would be up for debate – Would it be a group MUTE or behave as a DCA mute? My thought would be to make it a normal Group mute as separate mute groups can already be set up and assigned to softkeys etc. Perhaps it could have a selectable option: Behave as Group Mute or behave as DCA Mute?
What’s everyone’s thoughts on this concept?
