Adjust Video Track volume - VideoStudio X6?

[gumboot]

I made a 4 minute video comprising 25 clips including background audio and an accompanying "Auto Music" Music track.
At present the background sound of the kiteboarding video is too loud and overpowers the music.

How to I reduce the volume of the entire 4 minute video track in a single procedure? If I open Sound Mixer I only see a way to adjust individual points in each of the 25 individual clips. So changing it this way would involve a ridiculous amount of work. Ideally I would like to simultaneously reduce the background water action sound to about 25% of current lever for the entire video track. Then perhaps go back in and bump it up again in one two two spots to accentuate things.
I can select the entire video track with shift/enter but then most of the menus are greyed out. Also tried splitting audio from video but it only does it for one clip at a time. Surely there is an easier way?

Background: I am new to videostudio after deciding Adobe Elements which came with my HP laptop is too complex for what I want. All I want is a simple video editing package. So that I can take kiteboarding video from a GoPro, cut it down to something worth watching and adding non copyright background sound. I can then put it on my iPad or share it to friends via youtube.
So I am trialling VideoStudio X6 which seems to fit the bill. Dealing with the audio is the only bugbear I have and I want to work it out before I buy it. I cannot believe it can be so complicate to bump the background audio volume down a few notches.
Would appreciate some help if anyone has some suggestions.

Hi

Hmmm

This has always been a bit of an issue with Video Studio, there is an option to Copy and Paste Attributes, unfortunately this does not seem to work with audio.

As a workround you could create a sound file, Share Create Sound file will create a Wav of the entire project, obviously you don’t need all audio.
First save the project giving it a new name.
Remove all video from the top or overlay track, then Share Create Sound file, will create a wav of that track.a thumbnail will be placed in the library.
Either open the original project or hit the Undo buttons to replace the video clips.

The individual Video clips sound needs “muting”, Shift + Click first and last will select all, right click and Mute all. Now that’s a shame it does not work for volume levels.

Add the new sound clip to one of the sound tracks, Right click and "Insert To" will add at the beginning of the timeline.

Double click the new sound clip opens the options panel, adjust the 100% volume level to adjust all.
If you wish to use the sound mixer that is always available.

Trevor. I understand your suggested work around and I can see how it would be a solution. I ended doing part of it and and muted all the background audio. I could not be bothered going to all the trouble to achieve what seems such a simple concept.
I suppose the designers of videostudio must not have envisaged the simple needs of amateurs like me when they the designed it. Chop up a long video into a short interesting clip and add some music and adjusting the relative volumes of the two sound sources. Doesn't seem complicated. I imaging this is a fairly typical path for anyone with a POV camera. They are everywhere these days BTW.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I do find some of the other videostudio features attractive so I may end up sticking with it.

Hi

You could of course render the top timeline to a single video file, then treat it as a single clip.
Corel have gone part way in improving audio editing in allowing Mute for all clips, something that earlier versions did not do.
I was however surprised that the Copy and Paste Attributes did not cover volume levels.

You do however have 90 free support days from purchase, contacting Corel support may be the way to get things changed
