1. A method comprising:
- preprocessing a first clip to obtain characteristic data of the first clip, wherein the characteristic data comprises an average level of the first clip; and
utilizing the characteristic data of said first clip to determine level change parameters for audio ducking a second clip when the first clip is used with the second clip, wherein the audio ducking comprises adjusting a level of a signal of the second clip based at least in part on the level change parameters, wherein adjusting the level of the signal of the second clip in the audio ducking is determined based at least in part on the average level of the first clip to minimize modulation while the first clip is used with the second clip.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for performing audio ducking is presented. A plurality of tracks are displayed in a user interface, each track of the plurality of tracks including at least one audio clip. A first clip of the plurality of tracks is linked to at least one other clip of the plurality of tracks. At least one audio clip of the first track is preprocessed to obtain characteristic data of the at least one audio clip of the first track. The characteristic data of the at least one audio clip is utilized to determine level change parameters for the at least one clip of the plurality of tracks linked to the first clip.
