Guide title
Audacity manual: mixing a narration with background music, from levelling the voice to export
Coverage
Summarises the Audacity development manual tutorial for podcasters who talk over music: levelling the voice, lining clips up with the music, lowering and fading the music, checking clipping and exporting. Documentation only; nothing was run, and the settings may differ in your Audacity version.
Useful starting points
- Per the manual, Auto Duck permanently changes the music track, while the Envelope Tool lets you revise the fades later.
- If the mix clips, the manual lowers the narration and music tracks to -2 dB, then -4 dB each if clipping persists.
- Check your own Audacity version's Compressor before reusing the listed settings; the tutorial is from the development manual.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
