AutoDuck for music and sound effects

Automatically lower music and sound effects beneath active speech so dialogue stays clear without drawing every volume change by hand.

Set the ducking depth for music and effects while active voice tracks control the automatic level changes.

What it helps you do

  • Keep dialogue intelligible when music or sound effects overlap it.
  • Create consistent level movement from the timing of speech clips.
  • Reduce repetitive volume automation while retaining timeline control.

How the workflow works

  1. Place dialogue on Speech tracks and supporting audio on Music or Effects tracks.
  2. Enable AutoDuck for the tracks that should move beneath dialogue.
  3. Play through the mix and fine-tune track levels before export.
