Ducker & Stereo Ducker
A ducker dynamically adjusts the level of a signal in response to a trigger signal. Two
ducker components are available: a single-channel Ducker and a Stereo Ducker. They
can be self-triggering or externally triggered via the sidechain input.
The Ducker component features one input, one output,
and a sidechain input.
The Stereo Ducker component features two inputs, two
outputs, and a sidechain input.
The Ducker control window features a gain reduction (GR) meter, ducker curve, out-
put level meter, and ducker controls.
The Stereo Ducker control window features a gain reduction (GR) meter, ducker curve,
output level meters, and ducker controls.
The gain reduction (GR) meter displays the amount of gain reduction being applied by
the Ducker. The ducker curve displays the effect of the Ducker. The vertical axis corre-
sponds to the output signal level, while the horizontal axis corresponds to the input sig-
nal level. A 45-degree line means that the input signal level equals the output signal
