Hi Marchal,

Yes, this is a well-known compressor side-chain technique called 'ducking'. You add Pro-C to the track with the speaking, and route the signal of the other track to Pro-C's side chain input.

Then, you enable the Expert section in Pro-C and choose 'External' as detection signal. Finally, set up the threshold/ratio and attack/release settings to your liking.

You can read more about all this in the online manual for Pro-C:
