Bugs and their workarounds have been a constant part of life since I bought an Atari St in 1987 and programmed my first hit record without any Live players.
I’ve been completely inside the box since 1999 I never have used Pro Tools in the process. Just not a fan although it is so much better than it used to be.
My point is I’ve kind of seen and done it all. Never have waited for Developers to comply with my wishes in the future. Find the best tool and then find the best workarounds to make it your own in spite of the things but are not to your preference. Workarounds have been, are and will be a fact of life. I wholeheartedly agree that aspecific VCA workaround thread would be brilliant.
I would nominate MattiasNYC kick it off if he would since I think he knows more about this than anybody else at this point. Possibly even Steinberg! hehe
