Dipping Audio
To dip audio from a higher level to a lower one — for example, when bringing music down and under a voice-over track — you can use the procedures described in Understanding Audio Gain Automation, or use the procedure described in this section.
To apply a dip in audio:
1.  Play back the section of the sequence where the dip will take place to determine the start point for the dip, and apply an add edit to the audio track. For information on add edit, see Adding an Edit.
2.  Repeat the action in step 1 for the end point where the audio will dip back up.
3.  Place the position indicator over the new segment of audio, and open the Audio Mix tool.
4.  Adjust the track to the volume level you want, as described in Using the Audio Mix Tool.
5.  Apply a Quick Dissolve to both Add Edit points, using the techniques described in Fading Audio. Be sure to select Centered on Cut or Custom Start from the Position pop-up menu.
After rendering, the audio dips smoothly from the higher levels of the adjacent segments of the track to the lower level applied to the middle segment.
