Hi There,
I have a clip with different audio tracks as shown. There's one track each for sound effects, narration and background music. I selected the background music (bottom) then tools / audio ducking. When I click "OK", it analyzes for a while, and then nothing happens. The music volume does not show any ducking -- it remains flat as shown. What am I missing?

How does the ducking tool know which audio track I want to duck against? I want it duck only against the narration track and not against the sound effect track. Is it possible or necessary to target it at a specific audio track?

Since you selected the audio in track 3 prior to "Audio Ducking" selection, this audio track should be reduced based on content in tracks 1 and 2. You might try increasing the sensitivity and see if any ducking occurs.

Well that worked beautifully. Looks like I was way overthinking this. Thank you!
