![]() ![]() This second stage takes longer to complete than the first, so the estimated time remaining in the progress bar may be an underestimate until the later stages of processing. ![]() You can customize the number of seconds based on the longest pause that exists in your control track.Īuto Duck analyzes the control track first of all, then applies the effect to the selected track(s). Try to change the number of seconds for the Maximum pause to 3, 4 or 5 seconds to produce this effect. You can change the number of seconds for the Maximum pause to avoid the selected track's volume from becoming louder during the pauses in the control track. Note that in the Auto Duck window, there is a Maximum pause option.Click Effect > Volume and Compression > Auto Duck.The control track should be properly synchronized with the tracks to be "ducked" - you can use Time Shift Tool to align the tracks with each other as required.You can use the Audio Track Dropdown Menu to move tracks up or down if needed. Any other tracks below the unselected control track will also be modified if they are selected. Place the tracks so that at least one of the selected tracks to be modified is above the unselected control track.Note that the first unselected track underneath the selected track(s) acts as the control track. Deselect the track that is to act as the control track (for example, a spoken commentary).Select the track(s) or region(s) whose volume you want to modify (for example, a background music track).Listen back to the result.Ĭreate a control track (voice over) and then use the Auto Duck effect to automatically adjust the threshold level for background music. Once satisfied, click the OK button and let Compressor do its work.Does your voice sound unnaturally squashed? Try adjusting the Threshold setting to -6 dB.Are the quiet parts still too quiet? Try adjusting the Threshold setting to -18 dB.Click Preview to determine if compression levels are appropriate.These two controls tell Compressor how fast it should respond to changes in volume. Set the Attack Time to 0.5 secs and the Release Time to 1.0 secs.The Ratio control tells Compressor how much quieter it should make the loud parts.The Noise Floor control tells Compressor that anything below that level is noise and it shouldn't make it any louder.The Threshold control is the tipping point- the point where Compressor decides if something is "loud" (and should be made quieter) or "quiet" (in which case it leaves it alone).The latter means that Compressor will look at the peaks of the waveform rather than its average value. The former means that Compressor will maximize the volume of the track after it does its work.Check Make-up gain for 0dB after compressing and Compress based on Peaks.The Compressor is a complex but very useful effect, so let's take a moment to see how it works. The Compressor effect works by making the loud parts quieter, then amplifying everything, which ends up making the quiet parts louder. ![]() ![]()
