another idea would be automate what you are currently manually doing in Audacity. With sox or ffmpeg, mixing two files is easy. I'm pretty sure with some more involved scripting it should be doable to not only mix the two files, but to auto-duck the bed only while the voice file is playing.

Two approaches:

1. play wit panel buttons
Insert in playlist single Macro Cart instead of bed etc.
- stop playlist
- Press panel button A - bed
- SP 1000! (sleep 1000)
- duck panel i.e. -12 dB
- press panel button B - talk
- wait 29000 ms
- duck button A, B -50dB to emulate fadeout
- Play next in playlist

or
2. use the Aux log.
Insert Macro Cart before Bed (doesn't matter if it's bed mixed with
talk or bed with Cue Next in front)
In the Macro
- start playlist from Aux Log
- in the Aux Log insert Macro Cart with
  Sleep 30000
  Play Next from playlist 1

Just a loose ideas, you need to test and tweak it.

I have a station that plays weather forecasts on top of a music bed.

What we do now is open Audacity, pull in the forecast and the bed,
and
save the combination as a single cut that gets uploaded to
Rivendell.

What we'd like to be able to to is hard-code the bed into the log,
such
that we only have to upload the forecast and it always plays on top
of te
bed.

So far, I've conceived of two ideas:

1) The cart containing the bed is mapped to a SounPanel button,
which is
"pushed" by a script called weatherbed.sh invoked by a macro titled
"Weather start" that immediately precedes the westher forecast in
the log.
I test-ran this and it appears to work.

2) Set up the bed with a Segue cue a fraction of a second into its
audio,
with the End Segue cue at the end of the bed. Thus, the forecast
that
immediately follows the bed on the log will play on top of it.

The problem with both of these approaches is that I want the weather
to
always be exactly 30 seconds, the length of the bed, regardless of
how
short a file the weather guy may send us.

Will either of these methods produce that result? Or will the bed
end and
the next event on the log start right at the end of the weather
guy's
audio, if it's less than :30? On my test run, both were close enough
to
:30 that I couldn't tell.
