Reply To: Live band using Ducking?

Hardly massively IME. For conferencing and panel discussion broadcast I use auto-mix at most and downward expansion at the least.

I’ve asked often for a downward expansion option on the gates. It makes total sense in that it addresses any and ALL channels while ducking is pretty much a one-trick pony to deal with channel>channel or channel>group issues…quite limited in scope compared to expansion or auto-mix.

I’m very disappointed to see engineering time spent on limited application “pop” techniques when there are more basic and effective options which could and should be implemented.
