Reaction video audio: balance the clip and your voice
If viewers cannot hear your commentary, the reaction is dead. ClipCam ducks the source audio under your microphone so your voice always sits on top.
What ducking does
When you speak, the source clip drops in volume; when you stop, it comes back up. That is the difference between a reaction people can follow and one where the original audio drowns you out.
Manual control
Prefer to set the balance yourself? Adjust the mix between the source and your microphone directly, and the render uses your levels.
Recording tips
- Use headphones so the source audio does not bleed into your mic
- Keep the source at a level you can talk over comfortably
- Check the balance on your phone speaker, which is where most viewers will hear it
