Ducker Block
The Ducker allows prioritization of one audio channel over other channels. Applications include prioritizing
microphone or paging audio over other audio programs.
Priority Channel
is a dropdown to select the channel which is given priority and which will activate the
ducking (attenuation) of other selected channels, when the signal level of the priority channel reaches the
set threshold. The dropdown menu will display the name set in the channel’s input configuration.
Duck the Following:
Select the channel or channels that will be ducked when the priority channel signal
level reaches the threshold. Only the channels where the checkbox is checked (green) will by attenuated by
the ducker.
Threshold
is a decibel property that can be adjusted using the numeric up-down control. The threshold is
the level of the priority channel signal at which the ducker will attenuate non-priority channel signals.
Threshold level could be thought of as the "sensitivity" of the ducker and is expressed as a specific level in
dB.
Depth
is a decibel property that can be adjusted using the numeric up-down control. The depth is the
amount of attenuation to be applied to non-priority channels once the priority channel signal has reached
the threshold.
Attack
is a time property that is adjusted using the blue dial of the ducker configuration window or by
entering the time (in seconds) in the textbox. Attack time refers to the time it takes the ducker to start
attenuating non-priority channels after threshold has been reached on the priority channel.
Release
is a time property that is adjusted using the orange dial of the ducker configuration window, or by
entering the time (in seconds) in the textbox. Release time is the time the ducker uses to return non-
