Step 1: Record narration
Similar to previous tutorial
Step 2: Import background music file
Talk about importing and automatic mixing
Mute, solo
Step 3: Time-shift the tracks
Step 4: Adjust relative volume levels
We can mention Auto Duck here
Step 5: Smooth fade of the background music
Step 6: Save and Export
Bonus: Listening while recording
Preferences: play existing tracks while recording new one (is this on by default?)
What if you wanted to listen to the background audio while narrating? (Give examples, like narrating over a concert recording, etc.)
Talk about wearing headphones, so that your microphone doesn't pick up audio feedback.
