>> Hi Egbert,
>> 
>> Are you trying to get the auto duck effect to work? If so, here are some 
>> instructions:
>> 
>> The requirements of the Auto Duck effect are that:
>> 1. The tracks whose volume is going to be reduced are selected, and a  
>> time-range is selected to include all the audio you want to be modified.
>> 2. The control track is the next track after the above tracks, and it isn't 
>> selected.
>> 
>> So if you've got one music track and one narration track in the project:
>> 1. Make sure that the music track is the first track. You can move tracks  
>> up and down the table using the tracks context menu (application key).
>> 2. Arrange for the music track to be selected and the narration track 
>> unselected. (pressing enter toggles whether the focussed track is selected)
>> 3. Select a time range to include all the audio in the selected track: press 
>> j, and then shift + k.
>> 4. Open the Auto Duck effect from the effects menu, and press Enter to press 
>> the default OK button.
>> 
>> In fact the Auto Duck dialog contains a number of controls for setting  
>> various parameters which you may want to adjust. All the time parameters are 
>> specified in seconds, and the volumes in db.
>> 1. The first control is a panel which graphically illustrates the 
>> parameters, and you can just ignore this.
>> 2. The duck amount is the reduction in volume.
>> 3. The maximum pause is the maximum time that the volume in the control  
>> track can be below the specified threshold before the volume in the  
>> selected tracks is faded up again.
>> 4. The time over which the volume  in the selected tracks is faded down to 
>> the reduced volume is made up of two parts: the time before and the time 
>> after the time when the volume  in the control track exceeds a threshold. 
>> These are known as the outer  and inner fade down lengths.
>> 5. Similarly, there are outer and inner fade up lengths.
>> 6. The threshold is the volume in the control track which if exceeded causes 
>> the volume in the selected tracks to be reduced.
>> 
>> Note that whatever value of maximum pause is set, it is always at least the 
>> sum of the outer fade down and fade up lengths.
>> 
>> Note also that Undo (ctrl+z), and redo (ctrl+y) are very useful when playing 
>> around with effects.
