Understanding Audio Rubber Banding in VideoStudio 10+

[blplhp]

I need help understanding audio rubber banding in VS10+, specifically the "how it works" and "what it means". When I am in the audio view timeline, I can adjust an audio clip's volume level and fade-in/fade-out in the Audio Step Options Panel. In the Clip Volume box, I can change the volume level from 100 to say 50. I can also click on the fade-in button. When I go an audio clip in the timeline to review the waveform and rubber banding, I see two lines - a red horizontal line and a green horizontal line. I also see a keyframe on the red line exactly 3 seconds from the beginning of the clip (I have my default fade duration set to 3 seconds in Preferences). The red line is at the midpoint of the blue horizontal audio band and the green line is halfway between the red line and bottom of the blue band. However, the fade-in keyframe is still located on the red line. I assume that the red horizontal line represents the audio clip's original volume level and that the red line will never move from this horizontal position. I assume the green line represents the adjusted volume level based on the setting just made in the Clip Volume setting box. But why does the fade-in keyframe remain on the red line instead of showing on the green line? Can someone please help me understand what these lines are all about and how to interpret them based on what is going on with the audio clip when these adjustments are made?

Thanks,

B.P.

OK, I'm guessing a bit here; just had a look at my copy of Ulead to see what you were doing.
My impression: the red line down the centre of the clip represents 100% volume setting. The green line tells you 100% of what - if you set the whole clip volume to 50%, then the volume is 100% of the new lower setting (confused yet?).
The red line remains in the middle so you can manipulate it easily. If you put the mouse pointer on it, it will become a hand. Click on the line, a dot appears, and you can drag the red line up or down.
So, accepting that you are starting from an overall reduced volume level (the green line reminds you of that) you can increase or decrease the volume anywhere in the clip at will.
