Fading out sound

I would like to gradually fade out the sound at the end of a track. Say the track is 10 minutes long. I'd like to pick a frame about 2 seconds before the end of the track and have the sound fade out gradually to the end. Should be simple but I can't figure out how. Thanks for any help!

I will get a screenshot when I have the computer on, but it works like this. Select the clip in the time line. Hover the mouse over the audio track. You should see a little dot at the mouse pointer. Click to place the dot on the audio track. Then grab the end of the track and drag it down to fade out. __________________________________

Jaime-esque, thanks for response. I got to the point you describe. But what happens is that the point where attenuation begins is from the beginning of the clip. How do I make the attenuation begin just from a particular frame until the end? I tried splitting the clip into 2 clips and just doing the effect on the second clip. This seems to work okay if the second clip is pretty long. But if I split so the second clip is only a few seconds, the attenuation occurs during the whole clip so it is not gradual from the point I select!

teascher...just click on the audio clip multiple times and create points that you can drag down at any increments you want to fade the clip...depending on length of clip, i use 5 per 30 seconds of audio....

Click first where you want the fade to start. Then drag it down to create the fade. __________________________________

First, select the clip to focus on by clicking on it. On the audio gain line of that clip, click where you want the fade to start: this will create a new dot on the audio track, THEN grab the dot that automatically shows up at the end of the audio clip and drag it down to zero.

Thanks for clarification. The key is to click multiple tlmes creating more than one red dot. Then a red dot can either be used to drag the volume down, or dragged to the point on the time line to make it start or stop. It really helps to have multiple comments for clarification! Thanks so much for the help, from everyone!

Not at my pc at the moment, so from memory...
If you select your audio track and then select edit (with wave editor), your audio track is displayed in the wave editor window.
Highlight the section you want at the end of the track.
On the left hand side of this window is the option to fade out.
It's a bit less fiddly than the other way of doing it, but it is not as flexible if you want to change the fade point afterwards.
