In this video, we explore the ducking feature inside the noise gate plugin that is provided by Logic Pro X. Used typically for radio and podcasts, the ducking effect pulls back audio from one track while another audio track is in effect.
One common example of this is hearing the spoken word while music is played in the background. Without the ducking effect, the voice would be lost in the mix. The second audio track, usually music, is pulled back, or "ducked", while the speaker is speaking. This is usually done with sidechaining inside a compressor.
We can also explore ducking with the noise gate plugin and use the given parameters (e.g. the threshold, ducker, the attack, and the release) to create effective textures for our instrument track.
