The Minimum Graphic Volume Range box (lower box) specifies the range for
decreasing the audio volume of a track, track portion or point below the 0 db line.
The range is expressed in decibels and can be between -1 and -122 decibels.
The default values for the maximum and minimum graphic volume range are
specified in the timeline settings available in the menu Tools > Settings, Timeline
tab, Volume Automation Range group box. Each time you open a session, the
default values for the range are restored.
The Maximum and Minimum Graphic Volume Range spin boxes allow you to
change the default values and adapt the range to your needs. For more
information, refer to section 4.14.5 ‘How to Change the Graphic Volume Range’,
on page 170.

When you have entered the volume automation mode on a selected audio track,
the audio level of the track is displayed as follows:
• Initially, it is displayed as a blue line on the 0 db line, the Volume Automation
line. This means that the audio level heard when playing the timeline is the
initial audio level of the source media.
• As you modify the audio level on the track, on a portion of the track and/or on
given points, you draw a volume automation curve that reflects the volume
variation of the track compared to its initial volume.
