10. Adjusting audio levels

and down to raise or lower the overall audio level of the entire clip.

that, select the select tool and option click on the line to add points to the line.
This will allow you to manipulate audio levels on speci
fi
c segments of your
fi
le.

13. In this example I have added 4 points. The I dragged the middle two down. This
will allow you to lower the audio level on the section you pulled down.

14. Each clip has a handle you can grab at the beginning and end of the clip.

the audio in and out. You can also play with the curve of the fade.
