Ducking is a commercial radio / sound industry technique of attenuating the music when the DJ talks. In the old days, the DJ at the radio station would just pan down the music volume whenever he spoke into the mic. These days, recording studios will use a compressor with a separate trigger (side chain) input. The compressor is set to attenuate 20 dB or so whenever there is something on the trigger input. You run the music through the compressor and feed the voice to the trigger. Then, when you talk, the compressor is activated, forcing the music to "duck" under the vocals. Close your mouth and a moment later the music rushes back to full volume.
