Thought I'd share this. It's a channel settings file with 3 Levelizers and a studio delay patched on a return. It effectively acts as a dynamic duck delay.
The first Levelizer adds some gentle taming to even out the input signal for average to louder vocals. The second Levelizer sends to the A signal bus and doesn't effect the signal. After that is a Studio Echo/Delay that generates a moderate delay and outputs the signal 100% wet; tweak and tap it as needed. Finally the third Levelizer keys off the A signal bus and applies a gentle reverse gate to pull down the delay effect as long as there is and input signal above the threshold. The threshold will possibly need some tweaking based on your signal levels. There's a +10db boost off the first Levelizer and a -10db output correction on the last to give a little more range on the threshold. It'd probably make sense to change some of that around, but as it's all digital I don't think it hurts anything. The last correction is to put 0db on the return fader at near the optimal level and let me back off and snap back with a left-right click.
With input levels hitting between -18 and -12 on the meters, channel fader at about 0db, aux send post-fader with a -14db level and the aux and return faders at 0db, this blends pretty well.
