In the sound dialog box, set the measurement units to frames (small icon 

that looks like a filmstrip). Then play with the number of loops until you 

get it to the right number of frames. You may need to zoom in and out and 

drag the window to find the end of the sound wave. Then create pairs of 

volume handles (small white boxes) by double-clicking on one of the 

horizontal lines that run through the sound wave representation. Create 

athe first pair of handles where you want the fade to begin, create another 

pair at the frame where it should end, and drag those last handles until 

they each just touch the bottoms of their respective windows (drag too far 

and they are erased!). Then set the sync to Stream.
