Been wondering about this question for a while now, which is basically...
If you have two chains in an audio effect rack, how much should you turn down the dry chain's volume by (if at all), to compensate for the additional wet volume/signal?
Easier to think about if we have an example. Say we have a sound with an audio effect rack inserted. The rack has 2 chains, one dry and one wet. The first chain is completely dry, and the second chain has a reverb effect, sidechained to the dry signal, with the dry/wet of the reverb on 100%. This makes the reverb duck whenever the original sound plays again (cleaner mix).
So, you control the amount of reverb through chain 2's volume. What do you do about chain 1's volume? Leave it at 0 DB, or decrease it since overall level of the track has gone up due to the reverb from chain 2?
