uses :

Radio Production : The classic use for autoBED is when you have
a music track and a presenter's voice. Whenever the presenter is
heard, the music fades into the background. As the music fades, its
presence falls leaving focus for the presenter. When the presenter
stops speaking, the music fades back in as its presence is restored.

Another use for autoBED is as a lookahead noise-gate. This is
useful when for example, you have a presenter speaking against
background noise. Normal gating would result in a bump in background
noise as the presenter speaks and the gate opens, but with autoBED's
lookahead feature, the background noise can be gently faded in before
the presenter speaks creating a smoother, less objectionable sound.

Music Production : Control the presence of one group of
instruments according to the level of another - for example when
guitar, organ and vocal are all competing for space within a mix
autoBED can reduce the presence of the guitar and organ whenever the
vocalist sings, creating a little extra space for the vocal.
