In Sonar 8.5 (won from recording.org!), say I have 8 or so tracks open of the band.

How would I incorporate a talkback track that ducks out the whole mix?

I am guessing that it would incorporate a compressor on the whole mix that is triggered by the talk?

Is there a generally more accepted method? Thanks!

this is my first post so be gentle. ive been using project 5 version 2 for a bout 6 years now and have just gotten into sidechaining. ive pretty much figured it out except the bass track always muddies up the entire mix.

Ducking : A system for controlling the level of one audio signal with another. For example, background music can be made to "duck" whenever there is the need to hear a voice over.

looking for a tutorial on setting up cross limiting (ducking) to say, :roll: bring out some vocals, PT le 6.4

How often (often as in the meta-world of "mixing music in general, as a whole") is the bassline ducked behind the kick?

I would imagine that no matter the sound/genre/style it happens more often than not to control the low freqs without losing punch.

Any information on what situations really call for it are appreciated.
