The first two values above seem odd.

I think the basic formula for the overal VCA output level is:

    final_level = (level + env_amt * env_level) * volume

[where "env_level" is the current level of the VCA envelope.]

So for typical sounds you'd set "level' to 0, "env_amt" to 100, and
"volume" to 100, and reduce "volume" if it's too loud.  For drones you'd
set "level" to 100 and "env_amt" to 0.
