how to duck?

compressor on music track with sidechain input triggered by voice channel

[Ben Jenssen]

Here’s an idea:

Duplicate the VO track.
Use strip silence, and add a pad of a second or so at the front.
Now, use audiosuite Signal Generator to replace all the regions on this track with a sinus tone.
Send this track as a sidechain to a compressor on the music track.

Now you can use the threshold, attack and release to fine tune the in/out fades and attenuation.

Only downside is the extra sinus audiofiles on your disk.

You know how to make a soul singer out of a duck dont you?

Just put it into a hot oven

thanks uno1234!

finally the magic reply. the drawmer is just what i was looking for, and it works a charm

The Drawmer plugins have a duck switch on them, it works really well. Full control of attack, hold, decay, and range.
