DUCK OFF, ON When the audio from a performance or conversation is playing (through channels 1–4), this
function makes the sound of the performance or conversation more prominent by making all
other sounds quieter. This works by automatically bringing down the volume of the music (such
as background music) while the narrator is talking or while other participants are having a chat.
DUCK DEPTH -20–-10–0 dB Sets how much the other sounds are attenuated when ducking is active.
DUCK DECAY 0–100 Sets how long it takes for the levels to return to their previous volume after ducking is activated.
Turns the MIX MINUS function on/off.
