In this video you will learn the most effective ways of "ducking" the music for the voiceover. This is a great solution for podcasters who are looking to create the talk over effect or radio producers making ads and jingles. I go through a variety of methods.

There is an even easier way you could do this effect as well if you click on the music track select the music and then click on the central sound panel locate the music section and click on duck against everything

Don't worry, audio mixing can be complex at first, but with a little practice and guidance from tutorials, you'll be able to make your vocals stand out in no time! Keep experimenting and you'll get the hang of it! 😊

Great Mike. Please make a video on using a Reverb and delay effect using Send button. Also how can we EQ only the Reverb and not affecting any other effect on the vocal chain.

When you set up some echo, delay, reverb effects they allow you to EQ the effect.

Hey Mike! What to do when the music is louder than the voice? Do you increase the volume for the voice or reduce it for the music? Or do you normalise the voice first?

@MikeRussell 2 жыл бұрын

I would suggesting use match loudness to even the music and voice and then use a side chain compressor to duck the music with the voice

Hi Mike When I use multi track to mix the dialogues (Mono files), i put limit for all the tracks on -12DB, But when I export the files to a .wav, the places that two tracks were on each other make's loud sound (more than -12DB) . Can you help me how to fix this problem please?

@MikeRussell 2 жыл бұрын

That would make perfect sense to me. Two tracks combining would be the combined levels of both tracks. If you don't want to exceed -12db I would suggest putting the hard limiter on the master track.

Hi Mike. Help. I don't have the "set side chain input" icon on my dynamic processing box/window I only have the 2 options "shows help for this effect" and "switches to channel map editor" icons. Just the other day it was there and I used it. Today it has disappeared from where its usually located.

You could check for updates or try resetting Audition to factory defaults

@dreambadger Жыл бұрын

I'm just lowering the volume on the background music track in audition and have fade in and outs, but mine is meant to be subtle/ambient, and I can see this technique would be useful for something more energetic.

Try using essential sound ducking where you can adjust the duck amount and fade times

Why set the side chain to MONO as opposed to STEREO? Does that make the music MONO?

The vocal recording is mono. Unless you're using a Blue Yeti or something like a 3dio mic your voice will be mono so all you need is a mono sidechain
