Trying to lower the volume on one track in a project.
I need help. What I'm trying to do is for a selected period of time lower the track volume of one file in half, while another track plays normally. I've got everything all set up except how to lower the track volume for a selected time. I know how to make it silent for period, but I don't want silence, I just want to halve the volume. Any help in doing that would be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Trying to lower the volume on one track in a project.
You can use the Envelope tool to vary the volume level at different parts of the recording. Select the track you want to operate on and apply the amplitude envelope.
The Envelope tool is the icon with two white triangles pointing to a little white dot with a blue line passing through. With this tool selected you can set the little white dots at various points and move them (and the associated blue lines up and down) - the blue lines control the volume at that point in the recording.
