Hi Andy, that's just it, when you turn down the VCA it turns down the child tracks and their outputs. Since the output(s) of the child tracks are also going to the Aux FX bus, then it's operating as it should. Here's a gif of what I'm talking about.

Track 1 is the Output bus for the Child tracks.
Track 2 is the VCA master and is also the Folder track.
Track 3 is Child 1 and has 2 sends, one to the Output bus, the other to the Aux FX bus.
Track 4 is Child 2 and it's just going to the Output bus.
Track 5 is the Aux FX bus which is receiving from track 3, Child 1.

What have I misunderstood, which makes your (1st) method as good as ashcat's (2nd) method?
I'm not saying it as good or better, that's kind of subjective. I think ashcat's method it great. However, I think what I show here may end up with less tracks and for me it's a little easier to get my head around.
