looks like you want to bring the level up and down very frequently,
which bears the danger of brining in nervosity. A common approach is
to try to mix the music in a way that it can be combined with speach,
i.e. not so much using the middle freqency range 1kHz - 5kHz within
the music bed, so it doesn't disturb speech intelligibility so much.

Nevertheless, sound editing is a laborious task and I'd follow the
advice to try to do the fine tuning work in a dedicated application
(e.g. Ardour + xjadeo)

I don't think they are overly useful as they are right now; but they might be
a very powerful feature, if the handling was better and the user had more
control about the behaviour. If you don't look into the code, they indeed
behave completely mysterious and un-obvious. If you do look into the code,
you'll realize that they are a rather cheap spin-off from the
inner workings of the Cinelerra engine: they are not so much a "routing"
feature, rahter what happens is that a part of the "render pipeline" of
one track is re-used in the context of another track (buffer).

Cheers,
Hermann
