I'd like to adjust volume of the selected part like adjust using gane with focus track. Let me make my suggestion simple: when I focus at the track wich I want to adjust gane, Each time I prress alt+shift+up arrow, the volume increase, but not much more, then I can press that hotkey until I think it's ok. So you might write this like increase / decrease current volume by 1db or 1%. 2. With current feature, I think you can add an option for fading volume. This like a plugins called manual duck I downloaded from audacity forum. Just use this program for a short time, so I don't have more experience. Thanks for asking blind users about this plugin.

Unfortunately this tool is not accessible for blind users. I have written a plug-in that aims to make this feature available to VIP's and other non-mouse users. The plug-in is called "Text Envelope" and is available from the Audacity wiki: I'm not sure if direct links are allowed on this mailing list, but if they are, this is it: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/w/images/0/02/TextEnvelope.ny My questions are: 1) Is this type of feature of interest to anyone? 2) Has anyone on this mailing list used the text envelope? If so, how did you get on with it? Are there any improvements that you would like to suggest? 4) Does anyone use other methods or techniques for adjusting the volume level of a track over time? 4) Is there some other approach to adjusting the level of part of a track that you would like implemented? For example, would you like to be able to make part of track go quieter and then return to the original volume? Would you like a fade effect that allowed fading smoothly to a level other than silence? If you would like to try the text envelope but need help installing or using it, please ask and I can provide detailed instructions.
