Ducking Backing Tracks

When you’re creating a podcast, you may want to lower the volume of the backing

tracks (for example, background music or sound effects) to hear spoken narration or

dialogue more easily. Lowering the volume of some tracks to make others easier to

hear is called ducking.

You apply ducking by setting which tracks are lead tracks and which are backing tracks.

Whenever there is sound on a lead track, the volume of the backing tracks is lowered

while the volume of all other tracks stays the same. You can apply ducking to any Real

Instrument or Software Instrument track in your podcast.

To make a track a lead track:

1 Choose Control > Ducking.

A ducking control appears in each track's header, with arrows pointing up and down.

2 Click the upper part of the track's ducking control (the arrow pointing up).

To make a track a backing track:

1 Choose Control > Ducking.

A ducking control appears in each track's header, with arrows pointing up and down.

2 Click the lower part of the track's ducking control (the arrow pointing down).

When you play the project, send it to iWeb, or export it, the backing tracks are ducked

whenever there is sound on any lead track. You can adjust the amount of ducking on

these tracks by choosing a different Ducker preset in the Track Info pane for the master

track.

To adjust the amount of ducking:

1 Open the Track Info pane.

2 Click Master Track, then click the Edit tab.

3 Choose a different preset from the Ducker preset menu. The preset name suggests the

intended use of each preset.

You can also click the Edit button for the Ducker, and create your own preset by

moving the sliders.
