Setting up a sidechain workflow
Guys, Over the next week or two, I will be recording in the studio, and mixing my debut show for an upcoming podcast I will be starting. One thing which I plan to do is record some bumper music which will go behind my voice as the podcast both starts, as well as ends. The thing is, I don't want my voice getting drowned out by the music bed. Now yes, I could obviously use automation to bring the music track down, which probably to make it easier, if I did it that way, which I won't, but if I did, I'd probably route them all to an AUX input so I could just turn all up or down in one go, but anyways, that's neither here nor there. My question is, if I use something like the Gray compressor that comes with ProTools, well, at least, in my Avid account it did, point is, if I use a compressor, how would I then set up a sidechain so that the music track would be effected, thereby ducking based on the volume of my voice track?

Re: Vocalign project, how to use?
No, as I stated before, you keep the Audio Suite window open the entire time. Use your keyboard shortcuts to select audio. When you're done processing your clips, you can close the Audio Suite window. It's a file based process and not a real time effect.

Re: Using X form
Hi Ramy, Audio Suite plug-ins are not real time effects. They are file based processes. You can preview the effect by pressing the Preview button but you won't apply the processing until you press the Render button.

Hi slau: Ok, waiting your macros, but i think that i can change the meeters with Voice over, but can not here any difference in pitch. so why is this? > On Sep 16, 2018, at 11:18 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: > > Hi Ramy, > X-Form is not an automatic tuning plug-in that uses scales.
