EPriority

Displays the hierarchy of ducking source to duck targets (see Ducking Priority below). Priority levels are displayed in tree fashion. Click an input channel to select that channel as the current source. The current source indicator (A) reflects the selected input channel.

FBy (dB): (Target gain reduction amount)

Individual attenuation settings for each duck target in dB. If additional attenuation of a target is required, increase this value.

The attenuation range is 80.0 to 0.0 dB in 0.1 dB increments. Default is 20.0 dB.

GMix Status (for virtual returns):

Indicates whether the source is being routed to the virtual sends. This is a readout value only, shown for convenience during ducking configuration.

Ducking Priority

Multiple levels of ducking can be required enabling an input source to take precedence over all but one other input. In this example, inputs 2 through 6 are set to duck when Input #1 has a signal above the ducking threshold. Input #2 is set to duck inputs 5 and 6. Since Input #1 has previously been set to duck Input #2, Input #1 is disabled to prevent contradictory priorities.

Figure 38. Ducker Configuration, Input Priority

The priority tree outlined on the right side of figure 38 shows the inputs arranged by their priority status. Input #1 has all other ducked inputs under it, therefore if a signal is detected, it will trigger Inputs 2 through 6 to duck. If Input #2 detects a signal and there is no signal on Input #1, Input #2 will trigger inputs 5 and 6 to duck. However, if the Input #1 signal exceeds the threshold, it will then duck all inputs including Input #2.

NOTE: Ducking attenuation is not additive. When an input target is ducked, regardless of how far down the priority list it is, the maximum attenuation is what is set in the “by (dB):” column near the center of the dialog box.
