Degath's Ducker is a program designed to adjust audio volumes when you speak in the microphone. This effect allows the user to automatically adjust music or game sounds when speaking. The program does not limit the triggering sounds only to microphones but you can use any audio source and any number of sources you like. This goes for target audio sources as well!
There is a guide to aid you in setting up here!

1. Add your microphone as a trigger.
- Default settings may work just fine! Adjust to perfection.
- Adjust peak gain if the peak is low or the threshold is hard to define
- Ducking shows the volume curve the ducked audio source follows. The most important number is the total time in the duck section. This is the total duration from the triggering event to the volume reaching the original volume.
- After that you may want to adjust other settings to your preference but defaults generally work just fine.
- Confirm to add the trigger!
2. Repeat phase 1 to all triggers you want!- Adjust peak gain if the peak is low or the threshold is hard to define
- Type: Over X
- Form: 30 - 40
- Peak smoothing is unnecessary if the source is not expected to have sudden loud noises. If smoothing is needed, increasing the number of sliders and setting each to a similar level calculates the mean of selected number of peaks and as such smooths fast changes. More complex solutions are not within the scope of this guide.- Form: 30 - 40

3. Add target audio sources.
- Only a threshold and volume limit adjustments available now.
- Add target!
Optionals:- Add target!
