Unfortunately, the filter would probably cost more than a true VCA, but if there are cheap low-pass filters oriented towards Compact Disc 44.1 kHz sampling then you might be able to pull it off.

31kHz would give you a Nyquist frequency of around 15kHz and your highest band is probably only going to be 12kHz at most.
