VCAs don’t work to control the output volume of a nested/referenced event to it’s parent event, which I think is a big missed opportunity to give FMOD a lot more flexibility.

Hmm… I can see how it’d be useful to be able to control the output levels of nested events using VCAs. I’ll add your suggestion to our feature and improvement tracker.

Thanks for the feedback!
