Subject:How Do I Fade Individual Tracks

Greetings. I just picked up ACID 2.0 and trying to find out
how to manipulate volume on individual tracks -- fade
in/out, etc. I take it to be that blue line that runs thru
some sample tracks, but don't know how to get there and
can't find it in online tutorials. Thanks for any help with
this...

With the Draw or Select tool active, click on the Event you'd like to
add an Envelope to, then right-click the Event and choose "Envelope"
and then the preferred type, in your case, "Volume."

From there, you can just add points by right-clicking the Envelope
and choosing, "Add Point." Click and drag the points to achieve
different volume levels. Double-click a point to put it precisely at
0 dB (no cutting or adding to the master level of volume). Remember
that the master level for a Track is calculated *before* considering
the Envelope. Say a Track is -9.0 dB. You add an Envelope to a
particular Event on this Track and drag it up 2.0 dB. That means that
the final volume for that part of the Track will end up being -7.0 dB.

HTH,
