The Audio Montage 19 – 453
Volume envelope presets can only be applied to volume envelopes. Non-
volume envelope presets (such as pan and effect presets) can be applied to
any other non-volume envelope, but not to volume envelopes.
Envelope edit-lock
If this item is ticked on the envelope speed menu, the volume envelope
curve points are hidden and cannot be edited with the mouse. You can
however drag the whole curve up or down.
Global envelope lock
The Global envelope lock icon
If the Global envelope lock icon (in the Edit view) is activated, all enve-
lopes are locked and cannot be edited with the mouse. The envelopes
and their points will still be displayed, but cannot be selected or edited
(the mouse pointer doesn’t change shape when moved over the curve).
• You can toggle global envelope lock on/off by pressing [Shift]+[V] on the
computer keyboard.
Duck according to other track
This feature allows you to create ducking effects between clips on two
adjacent tracks. Normally, ducking is when the signal level on one track or
channel is automatically lowered by the presence of another signal on an-
other track or channel (if this is what you want, you should use the Ducker
plug-in, described in the section “About the “Upper Track” output option”
on page 482). With “Duck according to other track” it is not the presence
of another signal that causes ducking to take place, but the presence of
another clip on an adjacent track.
The most obvious application of this feature is when mixing background
music with a voice-over. When the voice-over starts, the level of the mu-
sic is automatically lowered and when the voice-over stops, the level of
the music is restored to the original level. This is done by automatically
creating volume envelope curves. In the following example we have cho-
sen to use “music” on the track to which ducking will be applied and a
“voice-over” on an adjacent track that will cause ducking to take place.
