Help with mic settings

[alkemy007]

I'm wondering f there's a way to do the following: I make music production videos and I have my DAW sound being recorded direct from the source. What I want is, when I speak, for my voice to temperarily lower the volume of the music. Is this possible?

I use a lapel mic if that has any bearing on this.

Thanks.

This is called audio ducking. You can do this with the compressor filter in OBS, see the special ratio/threshold/etc. settings for this in the bottom section in this doc:

Compressor Filter | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

You apply the filter to your music source within OBS. It lowers its volume according to activity detected in the Sidechain/Ducking source.
