What I think you are refering to is ducking; dropping the volume of say
the background music whenever the voice over comes in. This is usually
done using side chain compression; you pass the music signal through
the compressor, but the compressor control does not come from the music
but from the voice. In this way, whenever the voice is present, the
volume of the music is reduced.

Sorry, have no clue what you are talking about here :-}.
