Here I have added a music file to play in the background. What I want to do is start the music strong, fade down, then fade back up. For this we will use the “Pincher” a.k.a “Envelope Tool”
By clicking your mouse you will create little dots. You will be able to “duck”/“envelope”/“fade”/“decrease” the music levels
