How Do I Dim Audio In Premiere Pro?

[jw17307866]

Hi Guys, how do I dim the audio of a audio track that I would like playing in the background (Underneath the audio of my voice)?

Essentially, I want the audio playing, however I want the audio to reduce in volume as I begin speaking. Almost as a background track.

I don't want the audio to fade completely, however I just want this playing rather subtly in the background.

How do I achieve this effect?

Audio ducking:

You can automate this with the most recent versions of Premiere:

Go to window/essential sound. select the narration track and click the vocals button.

Then select the music and click the music button.

In the panel click on audio ducking and click the generate key frames button.

That should do it.
