The wave form is the tool to use to increase or reduce the
volume of an audio segment within an audio sample, for

the desired audio sample to highlight it in blue, then select the
Envelope menu item.
(a) The volume of the selected audio sample is displayed as a
wave form at the top of the envelope window. Above it you will
