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:

Hi,
thanks for your feedback. I'm one of the engineers who worked on the Auto Ducking feature. Happy to see it being used - sorry to hear that it doesn't perform as expected.

So here is how this *should* be: Auto Ducking creates keyframes only for the first (left) channel and sets the Amplify Effect to "Link Sliders" which means all other values should follow the first channel. This is done so that if you edit the keyframes manually you don't have to edit keyframes for every channel seperately.

In th 11.0.1 patch I can reproduce the issue you're describing when the clip does not start at offset 0. I will take a look at this. However - I only see this happening on the effect UI. UI parameters and processing parameters are updated slightly different and from what I hear the audio output sounds and meters as expected. I'm not saying that this is how it should be (not displaying correctly on the effect UI) but if you have steps to reproduce this issue where it affects the audio as well - please let me know.

Also: Auto Ducking is definitely supposed to work with a mixture of Mono and Stereo clips. There's no reason this shouldn't work. If you encounter an issue where the combination of mono and stereo clips produces an unexpected outcome - please let me know.

Thanks & Greetings, Nico

Auto Ducking is the feature that drove me to switch to Audition from another DAW earlier on this month, so I really appreciate your work on this Nico and I'm looking forward to being able to use it on a regular basis.

Here's the issue reproduced where it affects the audio as well as the UI. As you can hear, the effect works on the left channel but not the right.
