About this tool

The voice clip's level is measured in short blocks; whenever it rises above the threshold you set, the music's gain eases down toward the "duck to" level, then eases back up once the voice drops quiet again. This is a simplified version of sidechain compression, the standard studio technique for keeping voiceover intelligible over music.
