It automates noise reduction, voice leveling, and dynamic music/ambience ducking in a single workflow.\n\n## ✨ Key Features\n* **Dynamic Sidechain Compression:** Automatically ducks background music and ambience whenever the speaker is talking.\n* **Layered Backgrounds:** Supports a secondary looping \"Ambience\" track (e.g., rain, cafe noise) that ducks in sync with the music.\n* **Pro Voice Chain:** Built-in FFT noise reduction (`afftdn`), high-pass filtering (80Hz), and EBU R128 loudness normalization (`loudnorm`).\n* **Infinite Looping:** Background tracks automatically loop to match the length of your voice recording.\n* **The \"Reverse-Fade\" Trick:** Uses a multi-pass reversal technique to ensure perfectly smooth 5-second fades at the start and the absolute end of the file, regardless of duration.\n* **Automatic Versioning:** Every export is timestamped (`YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS`) to prevent overwriting previous takes.\n\n## 🚀 How to Use\n1.  **Setup:** Place your background music in a folder named `/music` and your ambient textures in a folder named `/ambience` (located in the same directory as the script).\n2.  **Input:** Drag and drop your raw voice recording (`.wav`, `.mp3`, or `.m4a`) directly onto `DuckPod.bat`.\n3.  **Output:** Your finished, mastered file will appear in the same directory as your source file with a unique timestamp.\n\n## 🛠 Requirements\n* **FFmpeg:** This script requires FFmpeg to run. You can either:\n    * Add `ffmpeg.exe` to your system's **PATH**.\n    * **OR** simply place `ffmpeg.exe` and `ffprobe.exe` in the **same folder** as the `DuckPod.bat` script.\n\n## 📁 Folder Structure\n```text\n/YourProject/\n├── DuckPod.bat\n├── ffmpeg.exe (optional if not in PATH)\n├── music/\n│   └── (your background mp3s)\n└── ambience/\n    └── (your looping ambient mp3s)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjerseysignalproject%2Fduck_pod","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjerseysignalproject%2Fduck_pod","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjerseysignalproject%2Fduck_pod/lists"}
