Rubber Band Audio Mixing

term for the granular adjustment of audio levels using keyframes on a clip's volume line, which visually resembles stretching a rubber band in most NLEs. This technique allows for precise, moment-to-moment ducking of music or effects around dialogue, creating a dynamic and responsive sound mix directly within the editing timeline. It transforms a technical, point-by-point process into an intuitive, performance-like act of sculpting the soundtrack.
