VCAs vs Attenuators

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have always understood a VCA as an Attenuator with CV control.. perhaps this is an incorrect definition? (I know many attenuators also invert) Two questions:</p> <p>1) how do you decide whether your system needs more VCA or attenuators?</p> <p>2) do I have a correct understand of the difference between the two?</p> <p>Thanks Smile</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/thesourceandthesound"> /u/thesourceandthesound </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/naqfm0/vcas_vs_attenuators/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/naqfm0/vcas_vs_attenuators/">[comments]</a></span>
