[RWP] Music ducking with compressor

[Patrick Perdue]

Yeah, auxiliary l+r is exactly that.

For track routing, send one or more tracks you want to drive the compressor's input to that track, either with Reaper's I/O interface (i) or from shift+applications key context menu (if you're using Reaper 3.xx and ReaAccess.)
If you are using Reaper's native UI to route tracks, remember that you can use alt+down arrow in the list of tracks rather than just arrows to keep yourself from creating accidental sends and duplicate sends.
After you have created a send from your voice track to the one that should duck, (and by the way, this also works for folders,) with the voice track in focus in the main window, press shift+I to get to the ReaAccess I/O dialogue. Now you should see a listview with the send you created. Tab in this dialogue until you find two buttons, "audio 1/2" and ">= 1/2." Press space on the ">= 1/2" button, the second one in the tab order. A menu will appear. Here, change it to ">= 3/4." Now your voice track is being sent to the auxiliary input of your ducker, assuming the number of channels is also set to at least 4 on that track.
