Best Method - Duck Everything Except One Part

Post by struknes » Sat Aug 11, 2018 1:52 am

I want to make everything momentarily duck except a certain guitar part. Is there a faster method than automating the volume down on everything except it?
DAW: Ableton Live 9 Standard
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel i7

HRI: Scarlett 6i6

Method 1. Group all the tracks, except the guitar track. Automate the group as you like.
Method 2. Create a new audio track - let's call it "Bus 1". Send the audio outputs of all the tracks, except the guitar track, to Bus 1. Automate Bus 1 as you like.
