I’d like to do the following, and was wondering if any of you know if and how this is possible:
I would like, when I duck the M+E track to a narrator, that in addition to the volume to go down when I move the fader, that the EQ reduces the level of one band proportionately, but by a different factor. E.G. when I move the fader down by 6 dB that the EQ dips by 2 dB etc.
I would find this incredibly useful, as I usually take a little off the 1-2 kHz range off the M+E when the narrator kicks in, so that they are more clearly separated from the background. If I could do this in one go along with the ducking I’d love that.
If that isn’t possible (yet), please file under “feature request”…
Use something like the Waves C6 with side-chain mode to duck a freq range based on sidechain input
Copy your volume automation to the EQ gain lane and use the automation scale tool to compress the range (could also create a logical editor preset for this)
I agree with likelistory; side-chain a multiband eq or compressor.
Alternatively I’d see if you could possibly get a controller (real or virtual) to trigger two parameters at once. I have no idea how that would work, but it’d basically be something related to parameter-control rather than automation. See what I mean?
not with cubase/nuendo, other daws can link parameters and you can write a formula to determine the scaling. apart from c6, i’d rather suggest a dynamic EQ with a sidechain input (this one’s really cool: MAutoDynamicEq | MeldaProduction )
