2 Cents - Currently, in v 1.1.8, there is a “Mixer Routing” window. There are two tabs in the Mixer Routing window - Routing and VCAs. The Routing Tab is a duplicate to that which exists in the Mixer window. It seems a little strange to have the VCAs in there own separate window. I know you want to distingish them as outside the mix\_group It seems logical to me to just add them as a tab to the Mixer window and remove the Mixer Routing window - unless you guys had more plans that would add more meaning to these separate windows. Thanks, -R ---

Hi Rich, Thanks for the suggestions. The main reason why VCAs aren’t in the mixer window is because we assume they’re less commonly used. Furthermore, we allow assigning to/from VCAs through context menus so the main reason you’d need the VCA browser is if you were deleting a VCA. Regarding the floating Mixer Routing window, we’ve added that to support dragging and dropping items to other parts of the interface. For example, you can drag a bus into the snapshot editor or profiler session to scope it in. You can also drag and drop into mixer views to quickly customize a view.
