Ducker Tutorials

The examples below are based on different input configurations. Insert a ducker from a
ducker processor block using one of the following methods:
Double-click the block,
then click Ducker
Once inserted, double-click on the ducker block to open the ducker configuration dialog
box. The Enable Mic/Line Source box is checked.
Ducking and Priority Ducking
The first inserted mic ducks all selected targets.
To set a ducking source:
1.
Insert a ducking processor on input #1.
2. Open the ducker configuration dialog box and select
the desired duck targets. In this example inputs #2
through 6 are the ducking targets.
Any signal on input #1 that exceeds the ducking
threshold now ducks inputs 2 through 6.
The ducking processor also provides a means to have
an additional input duck other targets using the priority
feature. The second input ducks its selected duck
targets, and can also be ducked by the first ducking
source.
To set an additional ducking source:
1. Insert a ducking processor on the additional ducking source.
In this example input #2 is the second ducking source, with input #1, as shown above,
as the first source.
NOTE: Since it was previously selected as a
ducking target, Input #1 is not available as a
target of input #2.
2. Open the ducking dialog box for the input and select
the desired duck targets. In this example inputs #5 and
#6 are the ducking targets of input #2.
Any signal on input #2 that exceeds the ducking
threshold now ducks inputs 5 through 6. The ducking
targets can be changed at any time by double-clicking
the input #2 ducking processor block.
Since input #2 is a target of input #1, if a signal on
input #1 exceeds the ducking threshold, inputs 2
through 6 are still ducked regardless of whether the
signal on input #2 exceeds its ducking threshold.
NOTE: No input will be ducked more than the
amount set in the by(dB): box.
