The ducking processor also provides a means to have
an additional input duck other targets using the Priority

and can also be ducked by the first ducking source.
To set an additional ducking source:
1.

The ducking targets may be changed at any time by double-clicking the input #2
ducking processor block.
If a signal on input #1 exceeds the ducking threshold, inputs 2-6 will still be ducked
