Volume fading...how did this happen?

Recommended Posts

I'm editing a podcast and at one point a guest is talking. During the time she's talking, the volume gradually fades until you can barely hear her. It wasn't like this on the original recording. We could hear her just fine. Being new to the software, is there an effect which would cause this, something I could have accidentally done?

How do I fix it? 

ETA: I found the problem. If anyone else is new to this, I had somehow accidentally pulled the volume line down to create a very long fade.

If you could elaborate on how this happened, it'd be really helpful for everyone and greatly appreciated.  Also, do note that tech support is free here.

I have no idea how I did it accidentally. But I'll try to describe it for those new to it.

Volume is changed by leaving a marker at each end of where the volume change will occur. The little white squares are the markers, left there by just clicking on that central horizontal line. I accidentally dragged one of those markers to the bottom of the track, creating a long fade. All I did was click that marker and pull it back to the middle line. Problem solved.

If there's a way to attach an image, I'll add one that shows what I'm talking about.
