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
