In this episode, Jason will show you how to set-up a side chain compressor in Adobe Audition CS6, to automatically duck music beneath a voice-over. This is a very common workflow across all different styles of video (commercials, interviews) and is very easy to setup and even build presets for later usage.

There are many enhancements to the multitrack editing features in Audition CS6. This lesson shows you a few highlights, including side-chaining, the new Properties panel, and automatic speech alignment.

Chris Meyer reviews existing methods to work on one portion of a chain of compositions while viewing the final result in another, then introduces a new feature in After Effects CS5.5 that simplifies opening a second viewer for side-by-side work.
