Applying Ducking for Tracks

Prerequisite

You have two audio tracks and you want to attenuate the level of one of the tracks every time a signal is present on the other track.

Procedure

  1. In the montage window, select the carrier track, that is, the track containing the music.
  2. Right-click the track control area of the carrier track and click Show Ducking Controls.
  3. In the track control area of the carrier track, activate Ducker On/Off.
  4. Click Source to open the Modulator Tracks menu and select one or multiple modulator tracks, that is, the tracks containing the voice recording.
  5. Play back the audio montage.

    The volume of the music track is lowered every time the voice track contains a signal.

  6. Optional: Click Ducker Settings to open the Ducker plug-in and change the ducking settings to fine-tune the ducking effect.
  7. Optional: If you are using multiple modulator tracks, you can also apply ducking to modulator tracks.
