Audacity Forum

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a mix of a vocal and audio track, so that when the vocal is active, it dims the volume of the audio track whilst playing?

This is for an internet radio show I am trying to broadcast.

You hear this effect on normal radio shows, where the DJ is talking over some music and the volume dims underneath their voice.

Any tips / suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

ReggaeBoy

Have a look at this page in the manual. Scroll down to Step 5.

Sounds like a job for AutoDuck.
