Audacity: Use Audio Duck to Mix Voice and Music

Tutorial how to use Auto Duck, in Audacity, to merge music with voice audio yet still allow the voice to be clearly heard and understood in Podcast or Videos. Auto Duck will automatically lower (duck) the volume of the music during the voice sections of the voice track allowing the voice to be heard over the background music.
