How it works
Make room for the audio that matters
Choose which source should trigger ducking and which source should be lowered. Ducking Audio manages the level change and restores the mix when the trigger is no longer active.
Choose the audio sources
Define the source that should take priority and the sources that should be reduced.
Set the response
Adjust thresholds, hold time and fade behaviour for the production.
Run the live mix
The application lowers and restores the selected audio automatically as activity changes.
Key benefits
Consistent level changes without constant fader moves
Adjustable timing
Tune the threshold, hold and transition times to match the pace of your event.
Selected vMix sources
Apply ducking to the inputs and audio channels relevant to your workflow.
Useful for
- Simultaneous interpretation
- Voice-over during videos or presentations
- Conferences and hybrid events
- Podcasts with music or playback sources
- Live productions with priority announcements
Designed for live control
Ducking Audio was created for situations in which one signal should temporarily reduce another. Adjustable timing helps the transition sound deliberate instead of abrupt.
