Yo

I use a lot VCC, it works perfectly but it also brings up some noise (this kind of noise an amp can make when you push the volume - don't know the english word for that) and when you have 50 tracks with this noise it's really obvious!

So, I automate the plug in (mute) and print the tracks when possible to cut the silent parts but at certain moment it's distracting imo. Do you guys have the same issue? And how you deal with that?
 
In one of the 4 optionmenus on the bottomright there is an option to automatically cut out the hiss when the plugin is not processing anything. I have never used it because i actually kind of like the vibe that soft hiss gives, but I can imagine that it builds up to extremes in large projects.

If you don't have the option, make sure to update VCC to the latest version, as it was only implemented in the final version I think.
 
well actually i believe that exactly this noise is the secret sauce.
it makes the clinical clean sounding digital tracks sound a bit ore analog...;)

Didn't know that! Cool news, thanks :)

Yes correct and that's why I use it on every single session I mix, but when this buzz is too loud because of layering tons of VCC noise, it becomes a bit too much audible. I mean, not in the track when it's playing but sometimes (at the end of a song when a note is fading out for example)
