Ducked reverb

[charlie49]

I have just been reading about ducked reverb which is a technique where the reverb is cut out or ducked when the vocal kicks in. The tail of the reverb can be heard but the the vocal is fairly dry

I think Anthony Alves might know how to do this. Can someone explain how to achieve this

I have pro Mb which will be the compressor

Ok so I found an old thread which helped with this.
If you are interested, create an empty stereo track, make input on this track A1, then you can add effects to the empty track. Put reverb first then compressor. Open the compressor and adjust threshold settings to low which ducks reverb so that the track(vocal in this case) ducks the reverb when the vocal is active. Remember to turn aux 1 knob to give amount of effect you want. A very neat trick and very useful esp for vocals. The other good thing is that you can use four inputs on the empty track as opposed to one on the master aux1
