Audio Ducking on Mac

Audio Ducking in Filmora for Mac automatically lowers background audio when dialogue or important sound is detected. This helps make voices clearer without manually adjusting volume levels throughout the timeline. The feature is commonly used in interviews, tutorials, vlogs, and cinematic edits where background music should remain soft while speech stays easy to hear.
