Hi everyone,

according to this press release https://www.presonus.com/press/press-re ... Mixes-Easy it is possible to nest DCAs inside each other.

I wasn't able to do so. How can this be done inside UC Surface?

Thank you for your response, but putting multiple channels in different DCAs isn't the same as nesting them, or is there something I misunderstood.

What I'm interested in is something like this:

  1. Dums DCA
    1. Kick
    2. Snare
    3. Toms
      1. Rack Tom
      2. Floor Tom Left
      3. Floor Tom Right
    4. Overheads
      1. Overhead Left
      2. Overhead Right
  2. more DCAs
  3. ....

Is this possible whin an RM32 and UC Surface?

No, DCA filter groups can not contain sub channel groups. A possible approach could be:

01 Kick
02 Snare
03 Toms
04 Overheads
05 Bass
06 Guitars
07 Keys
08 Vocals
09 ...
10 ...
