charles kasler Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I have the directions to set up ducking for the old (pre-bandlab) Producer using the sonitus compressor. Are there any updated or improved directions for the current version of Sonar or using a different compressor? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 That method still works, and the Sonitus compressor is still a good choice for doing it. Other compressors can add some flexibility, e.g. having a sidechain filter is handy for fine-tuning. A FET-style compressor can give you very fast attack times if that's what you need. Multi-band compressors let you duck specific frequencies, which can make the action more transparent because you're only ducking frequencies that are most likely to mask another track (e.g. ducking a distorted rhythm guitar with a vocal as the sidechain input).

charles kasler Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 Thanks! I mostly want it for spoken tone poems with sound effects in the background. I thought about using it for general accompaniment for vocals but I think automation is a better choice for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
