Experiment with dragging the keyframes and segments of the audio level overlay up 7
and down to familiarize yourself with changing the audio level using keyframes.

Level slider. Once there are keyframes in a clip, moving the Level slider adds a new
keyframe at the position of the playhead. Experiment with positioning the playhead
and dragging the Level slider to change the audio level.
