1. Creating a Dynamic Podcast Intro
Podcast ProducerBackground
A producer needs to mix a 15-second voice introduction with an energetic music track, ensuring the music starts loud, ducks when the voice starts, and fades out at the end.
Problem
Manually drawing volume automation curves in a DAW is tedious for quick weekly episodes.
How to use
Upload the intro voiceover and the intro music track. Set the ducking mode to sidechain, set the music start to 0 seconds, and set the music end to 20 seconds. Choose MP3 as the output format.
voiceFile: intro_voice.wav, musicFile: intro_music.mp3, duckingMode: sidechain, duckingDepth: -15dB, attackMs: 50ms, releaseMs: 400ms, musicStart: 0s, musicEnd: 20s, outputFormat: mp3Outcome
A mixed MP3 file where the music starts at full volume, ducks smoothly by 15dB when the voiceover begins, and fades out completely at the 20-second mark.
