Track 1 controls Gate on Track 2?
Hey guys, how might I do this please:
I have some dialog on track 1 and some music on track 2. How can I use a gate so that the music is lowered when the dialog is talking and raised when the dialog goes quiet? |

Make a new send on your dialogue track. Route it to a new Bus. Insert a gate on your music track and assign that new bus to the sidechain input. Now adjust the send level and the threshold of that gate to behave the way you like it.

This might be best done by side-chaining a compressor on the music track, from the vocal. Use the fastest attack and a slow release. In either case, the results may not be up to what you really want. Ideally, the music would ramp down before the vocal starts, and the way to make that happen is to duplicate the vocal, nudge it earlier(so it triggers the ducking ahead of the "real" vocal. Make the duplicate NOT feed the main outs, or turn it down and use a pre-fade send to the side-chain bus
