Question / Help Automatic Audio Level

[crazymic]

Is it possible to set up an automatic audio level, so that the Desktop sound will be automaticly reduced as soon as I speak in my microphone?

Thx a Lot.

Yes. Add an audio filter called "Compressor" and use the "sidechain/ducking source" setting.
Be careful, it may be that it works the other way round you think it works.
You add the filter to the Desktop audio source and select your mic as Sidechain/Ducking source. This way the Desktop audio source is ducked if activity is detected on the Mic source.

Sidechain/Ducking Source : specifies different audio source (if any) which will be used as side-chain audio track (helper track, smother track) to adjust current audio.
Compression value applied to the current audio source but values to trigger this compression are taken from side-chain audio source (helper track, mute track, smother track). So, if side-chain track audio fits threshold gate then the main track is compressed (applies Ratio ... Output Gain).
