Seeing the VCA problem reports at the Steinberg forum (with you also) growing since v8 I will definitely stay away from using them which is a shame. Honestly we had so much Cubase trouble lately in the studio we were about to ditch it alltogether.
So again pulling from memory the technical implementation of VCAs is still different from that of Nuendo (?).
In
both the way to make VCAs work predictably and consistently however is to create volume automation points at the start of the timeline for both VCA tracks and controlled tracks. If you do that as a starting point in your projects / templates then these problems won't occur.
And if you want an arguably more 'correct' implementation of VCAs you should crossgrade to Nuendo.
I've used VCAs in Nuendo now for years on shows that go to broadcast and as long as I've had the default automation points on the timeline(s) I've had no problems at all.
