Decreasing volume from audio and then increasing it

Hi. I am trying to include a video during a montage. I am looking a way to decrease the volume of the song playing in the background while the video is playing and bring it back up after the video is over (basically fade it out for a while and fade it back in). It seems like the fade in and fade out option is only available at the beginning and end of the audio file. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

The feature you need to use is the Volume curve - you must be working in Timeline mode - right click the music track and select the option from the popup.

You will see a green line appear on the music object, to duck the music you add 4 nodes where required, as shown below - the mouse pointer will turn to a small black triangle when in the correct position and a single left click adds a node.

For dragging these nodes up/down left/right to duck the music volume, when the mouse pointer changes to a cross over a node you can then drag them into position.

Do note it is best to work zoomed in on the section you want to dick.
