Let's look at using track-based volume and automation to accomplish that. Here in any given track, if we pull the track out, we can see some more information about that track, and one of them involves something called envelopes, down here. If I open this little disclosure triangle, we can see envelopes, and we can see things like volume, so we get a volume line for every track. In fact, this line is tied to this volume control up here, so when I move this up and down, that line follows. That's our overall level over the track. Now we did have individual clip volumes on all of our tracks, but this is a overarching volume on a layer, if you will, above that, and we can use this to make broad changes to our clips or our levels as the show progresses.
