About DCA groups

DCA grouping is a function that lets you make relative adjustments to the output level of channels so that the level of multiple channels
belonging to a group can be controlled together.
fig.DCAGuide.eps
A channel can belong to more than one DCA group. This is convenient when grouping drums or instruments.
The DCA GROUP screen is used to make DCA group settings.
