Applying normalization to both events will get the loudest part to the target of -1.0 dB. Check the Options, Preferences, Audio, and Normalize peak level should be -0.1 dB. The OP has music on one track, voice sounds on another and just wants to balance them so that the voice and music are approximately at the same goal is to get the perceived loudness of each of the events, voice and music, to be the same, is it not?Īs I mentioned, you can normalize both events. In point 2, the OP says "I don`t mean Auto Duck feature, because it is for different but again, too complicated as iZotope Rebalance does this in an event (recording) that has everything, both music and voice, and separates out parts of it. Has it been added in 16 or interesting way to do ducking, but this is more complicated than what the OP is looking for, I believe.

In Vegas Pro 15, I don't find a way to normalize to EBU R128. As an option, ducking only affects the original audio of the video event. Applying ducking modifies the volume envelope of all audio tracks except the selected one, so one has to be careful. Of course, the points on the curve (track level) can be modified individually or by using track automation. VPX and MEP have a tool that ducks audio tracks by 6, 9 or 12 dB with a transition length defined by the user. Maybe you should put that on the wish list. You say that Vegas does not have an automatic (or semi-automatic) ducking tool. Of course, as points out, there is much more to getting good audio than just loudness Vegas have and EBU R128 normalizer like VPX? Mixing and Mastering is an art and there is no magix (pun-intended) button to do it automatically, otherwise it would put sound engineers out of business. I'm getting a work flow figured out for the general case of having narration and music. If you want to see my trials and tribulations with Video Pro X and some screen shots, see this on the Magix forum. YouLean Loudness Meter - link Vegas to the VST folder (likely Steinberg)

If you want to know more and be able to measure the loudness, there are a couple of free loudness analyzers that you can use on a track and on the master. The final mix is what is measured to see if you did it right. If you can normalize to this, then do so, both music and audio. It's like an average level excluding silent parts or very low volume parts, intended to equalize the loudness perception of the material, so -23 LUFS is not the maximum level. The standard is EBU R128 which will use -23 LUFS as the loudness level. If you are planning to put the video on YouTube or something like that, or on TV, then you will need to normalize to a lower level. Then, you may want to back off the master and/or the track by 1 or 2 dB. You mentioned that you don't want to do ducking right now.

Is not my main editor so I'm not sure how to do this in Vegas and I don't have my Vegas 15 loaded on this computer and I don't have the manual with me right now.
