Setting an event’s fade in and out
The event handles allow you to change an event’s fade in and out volume. You can also change the type of curve that the event uses to
control the volume’s fade in or out.
1. Place the mouse pointer on a handle (upper corners of the event). The pointer changes to the envelope cursor
2. As you drag, the volume envelope appears. The time in the event and the decibel level both display.

The Envelope Edit tool
While you can edit envelopes using the Normal Edit tool , you can limit your editing to envelopes only by clicking the Envelope Edit
Tool button . You cannot move, trim, or otherwise modify events with this tool, which allows you to edit envelope points without
making any other unwanted changes. For more information, see Using the Envelope Edit tool on page 73.
Using timeline volume envelopes
You can add a volume envelope to the timeline to precisely control the overall volume of your project throughout the timeline. A
timeline volume envelope controls all events on the timeline. You can vary the overall volume by adding envelope points along the
timeline. Timeline volume envelopes are calculated after individual event envelopes and any event effects.
If you’re using the second audio layer, you can have a separate volume envelope for each layer and adjust each individually. The Insert/
Remove Volume Envelope or Show Volume Envelope commands will affect the layer that currently has focus.
