Question

Auto Ducking only one channel :(

Hey so I sent a sequence from Premier to audition to apply some auto ducking. The problem I am having is when I adjust the "reduce by", the ducking is only working on one channel, so the left sides volume is going up and down the the right side is not being affected.

Any ideas?

Issue still present. In preview/playback audio is fine. Only after exporting, the sound ducking on the left channel and the right channel being untouched becomes present.

(Premiere PRO Version: 15.4.1)

Do you have two clips, one for the left channel and one for the right in your session, or a single clip with both channels inside it?

I have one clip with two channels. See for yourself:

Seems to me the bug lies in the effect, or at least the setting of the effect, which auto ducking applies to the clip. In the case of your screen shot, the give away is the top right corner of your Music Bed clip which says "Amplify: Left". I too have that appear when I attempt this, though sometimes it applies "Amplify: Right".

When you examine the settings of Amplify in the Clip Effect rack I am seeing the following...

So I try altering the Gain sliders...

Suddenly they snap to! I close the window and play the track. Still not working. I open the Amplify setting again and see this now...

I know I'm not crazy. I called Adobe Tech Support and they indicated that Ducking only works properly when you're editing either all Mono or all Stereo which makes no sense. I've done this with both Mono and Stereo voice tracks and it is still malfunctioning.

This has to be a bug. I've seen so many YouTube videos that demonstrate this feature and it works perfectly. I anxiously await the next patch.

This is the exact thing happening to me as well.

It is happening to me as well. I was able to successfully duck one mono clip automatically but I have no luck with stereo clips.

Is this a bug?
