Ducking

Descript's ducking feature allows you to automatically lower the volume of other audio layers in your composition whenever a speech clip is present in the script track.
 
Parameter Description
Amount
Other audio layers will be reduced to this percentage level, except when a gap clip is playing on the audio layer

Enabling ducking on multiple layers

Whenever this feature is enabled for more than one layer in the composition, those other layers are also excluded from the volume reduction and will remain at full volume. In this scenario, Descript will evaluate the volume reduction slider for all enabled layers, and prefer the setting that reduces the volume of other layers the most.
