Audio Montage
The audio montage is a multichannel and multitrack non-destructive editing environment that allows you to arrange, edit, play back, and record audio clips.
Envelopes for Clips
For clips in the audio montage, you can create envelopes for volume and fades, for panning, and for effects that are routed to a clip.
Clip Ducking
Ducking happens when the level or send effect of one clip is modified through the presence of another signal on another track or channel. You can create ducking effects between clips on two adjacent tracks.

Creating Voice-Over Ducking Effects for Clips

In the following example, the track to which ducking is applied contains music and an adjacent track that causes ducking contains a voice-over.

Procedure

In the montage window, place the clips that contain the music and the voice-over on separate adjacent tracks.

The voice-over clips must be located inside the time range of the music clip.
Select the clip containing the music.
Select the Envelope tab.
In the Selector section, open the Envelope Type pop-up menu, and select Volume/Fades.
In the Level section, click Ducking.
In the Ducking Settings dialog, make your settings.

Depending on whether the voice-over track is above or below the music track, you must select Previous Track or Next Track.
Click OK.

The level of the music is automatically lowered by the voice-over clips.

Play back the audio to check the result. You can edit the envelope points to fine-tune the ducking effect.
