Lowering Volume of one track and then bringing back up

Post by Argh » Wed Aug 20, 2008 2:53 pm

I have two tracks of audio -- one music, one voice.

I want to play a minute of music, then turn it down while the second track says words, and then fade the music back up. I can fade, but fading goes all the way to zero. I want to fade down to about 40% and then fade back up to 100%. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

You might want to look at the Auto-Duck effect too ...
