If you record a voicetrack, It is time consuming to manually lower the volume of the music (in the “Edit” screen for example) on the location where you are talking.
Please add the possibility to auto-duck the volume of the music on the position where you are talking. Also add the possibility to choose the Db to lower.
Just my two cents here, but did you know you can adjust the volume while recording?
Next to the waveforms you have a slider for that. It works in realtime.
As a short addition to mgie’s comment: you can even use an external MIDI device with faders to control these volumes in real time. I use a Traktor Z1 (https://www.bax-shop.be/nl/dj-mixer/native-instruments-traktor-kontrol-z1-mixer), but I have a colleague that uses a Behringer MIDI device. It works perfectly! It’s a close to live-experience recording voice tracks. If you need help setting up the device, do give a shout.
BTW, this is how it should be setup for the faders. Copy-paste of Torben’s comment in https://community.mairlist.com/t/midi-remote/11429:
Most controllers use the Data2 value to transmit the position of the volume slider (0…127). So you set up a MIDI command with Status and Data1 to the appropriate values, and Data2 condition to “any” (*).
Then you type the following command (manually):
PLAYER 1-1 VOLUME $DATA2/127
$DATA2 will be filled with the received value. “/127” instructs mAirList to consider 127 as 0dB. (You can also use a lower value if you want to have overhead like most real consoles have.)
I too would like the (extra optional?) automatic gain option. It would be more precise and less ‘mousing’ (RSI…!) in my setup.
