Sample comparison studio

The original version uses the starting volumes. The adjusted version uses your current settings; the picture stays the same.

Compare speech and the gaps between phrases

Keep the music baseline fixed while toggling automatic ducking. Listen across a spoken phrase and the gap after it: the recorded voice levels change the music level over time. Manual balance holds a chosen level; ducking varies it with the sample speech.

Use cases

FAQ

Before you begin

Why keep the music slider still when comparing automatic volume changes?+

It lets you hear the time-varying reduction rather than a general volume change. Raising the baseline at the same time would mix two separate adjustments.

Is this AI source separation?+

No. The local demo uses pre-measured volume levels from the prepared voice track to lower music during speech.

When does the music get quieter?+

The demo follows the pre-measured volume levels of this sample narration. It reduces music during louder speech and eases it back between phrases.

Is it analysing my microphone live?+

No. It reads precomputed data for this prepared sample only. Disable automatic ducking to compare against a steady music level.
