Ducking is just reducing the channel volume dynamically. For example when someone isn't speaking.
A Side Chain controls some effect on one channel based on the signal from a separate channel. Such as "ducking" background music when someone is talking.

It's related to a side chain input on a compressor. Dynamically lowering a quiet signal is done by an "expander", or a "gate" if it's lowered to zero.
