Music Ducking Control Preset
Designed to
provide a special processing chain for one subgroup (typically mics) that can override another chain
(typically background music). In this case, the background music is automatically compressed when a mic is being
used. This chain requires the use of the sidechain feature to trigger the chain’s music ducking control.
Processing Chain by Plugins:
•
Vitamin
provides multiband processing of the background source (music).
•
Playlist Rider
provides automatic levelling of the audio signal. It helps balance the volume of multiple sources
(host, guest, music playlist, audio clips)—automatically, non-destructively, and in real time—to achieve
natural, consistent levels.
•
D5
compresses the background music audio when there is audio signal on the sidechain input. This should be
connected to the appropriate mic subgroup.
Playback Group Preset
Designed to
provide consistent volume level and sound for source audio players assigned to the subgroup.
Processing Chain by Plugins:
•
C1 Comp
is first in the chain and provides moderate compression when the overall input signal is too high.
•
Playlist Rider
provides automatic levelling of the audio signal. It helps balance the volume of multiple sources
(host, guest, music playlist, audio clips)—automatically, non-destructively, and in real time—to achieve
natural, consistent levels.
•
F6-RTA
is the final plugin in the chain. It adds polish to the playback group audio before amplification.
