Ducking
Attenuates the output a particular amount, when an input signal exceeds its threshold. Both mono
channel and stereo channel duckers are provided.
Mono channel duckers have one input, one output, and one KeyIn input. Stereo channel duckers have
two inputs, two outputs, and one KeyIn input.
Double-click a component to open the component editor for it. The parameters are the same for mono
channel and stereo channel components.
