Ducking (DUCK)
When the audio from a performance or conversation is playing
(through channels 1–4), this function makes the sound of the
performance or conversation more prominent by making all
other sounds quieter.
This works by automatically bringing down the volume of the
music (such as background music) while the narrator is talking
or while other participants are having a chat.
