How can I create a "U shape non-full-mute fade"?

How can I create a "U shape non-full-mute fade"?

I tried crossfade, but it kinda "cuts" some parts of the audio in a very quick fade out and in.

I just want to lower the volume (but not to a full mute state) and then higher it back on.

In either view in Audition you can use Envelopes to draw fades of any shape or depth that you require.

In the Multitrack view you can use the on Track Volume Envelope by creating Keyframe points and moving them up or down.

In the Waveform view you use the similar Gain Envelope effect from the Amplitude and Compression section of Effects.

Thanks! But the thing is that the fades (in any view) go all the way down to zero volume, which is not what I want.

I tried crossfade, to make a "U" shaped fade out and fade in, in the middle of the song, but I don't see how to make it less mute in the middle.

Is this in the Multitrack view or the Waveform view? There are different methods for each. If in Multitrack you use the Volume envelope yellow line to add keyframes where you want the fade to start and end and a couple in between. Then adjust each to give the audio levels that you require. In the Waveform view you can do similar with the Gain Envelope in Effects/Amplitude and Compression.
