doing this from memory so may be a little spotty. Enable automation on the track and set it to write . set the level where u want it and go to the begin of the song and hit play . then go to where you want to automate the first volume change. select the track, select he range of audio u want automated down to to the new level, then set the volume to that new level. hit play and let it play through the entire selection. Repeat step two for all the other parts u want to automate. when done change the automation mode on that track to read as not to accidentally over rite any of it. When u play through the song u should hear the volume jump around for the specific pars. or in this case the volume level you hear should be more consistent.
