Hi Nolan,
Attached to this post is duck.ny , an effect plug-in to duck your selected
audio by the amount you set.
Copy duck.ny into your Audacity plug-ins folder, typically
c:\program files\audacity\plug-ins
Start an Audacity session, load audio into Audacity.
1. select audio you wish to duck and later talk over.
2. Open the effects menu.
3. Click on 'Duck audio...".
4. There are two edit fields:
Duck audio to this level [db]
default is negative 6 db, range from 0db to negative 12db.
Fade-down and fade-up times
default is 200 milliseconds, range from 0 to 500ms.
5. Press return or click on the okay button.
When you press the space bar to listen to the results, you should now hear it
start at full volume, drop down to the level you selected for almost
the full duration of your selection, then rise up to full volume at the
end of your selection.
Anything you want me to clarify or change, please let me know.
Cheers
David
