Vary the audio levels/volumes in one track

[hvdwolf]

Hi,

I've seen that my question has been asked before in this post but it's very old by now so instead of bumping it I created a new post (I was "raised" with the forum etiquette to never continue or bump a post older than 1 year).
I couldn't find it either in the changelogs or in the manual or in this forum or in the several youtube tutorials.

I would like to be able to vary the audio levels/volume in one track.
It happens often that I have video with audio (of course) and put a background music track below it. Next to that music track I also put multiple narration (voice over) tracks to the project. It is (for me) really a requirement to be able to lower the volume of the music track during the narration, like "fading" it from 70% to 20%, and when the narration is finished, bring it back from 20% to 70% (70% or so because I want it to be "background" music).
Note: I know that I can do this within pitivi, but I like Openshot (much) more than pitivi.

Note that this question is not the same as the "waveform feature request" (off topic: and I would prefer to see this feature as the normal "bar" representation of the track as it currently is, where the waveform representation can be enabled with a right-click option on that audio track).

I did not see my question about the variable volume level in the feature requests either: Do I need to post this question as a feature request?

EDIT: I mentioned "It is (for me) really a requirement to be able to lower the volume of the music track ....". I certainly don't mean that I require it from you developers. I kindly request it (or a workaround). I meant that with regard to my own workflow.

It is our goal to have that type of functionality in OpenShot...but we are not there yet.

Thanks for your reply

...but we are not there yet.

That means: almost there?

Not as close as that, but the groundwork is being laid.
