Can I just highlite/select the part I want lowered and go from there??? Also....how would I go about adding fades and watnot????

you can automate volume changes so it's more natural same with fades as it will be non destructive. you could use an audiosuite at that point but change the gain but i would prefer to automate personally. to use the gain highlight the section you want go into audiosuite and search for 'gain' (if you arrange the plugin folders by company name and type just go to the digi folder) than preview. you can undo as the preview isn't referencing the sound prior to the section you're changing.

fades can also be made from the 'edit' menu or ctrl+f (*pc*. may be the same combo for mac) which will bring up the fade window

Automation is the answer if your unsure on how to automate the volume change let us know, when Im home actually looking at it or when I wake up more I can tell you how its done..
What version of PT are you using?

Im using 6.4 so its prolly all diff.
On the left of your track in wav view there should be a little rectangle that says "read" you would click on that for a drop down menu and select "write" .then all you have to do is hit play and w/e you do with the volume or panning or w/e while thats going on will be automated.Just hit stop when you are done .

or can change the "view" of the track from waveform to volume and just draw your volume curves.. somtimes i find drawing in the automation easier and more precise than recording it. but to each his own.

thats true ash has a point, I just have never played with that feature!
But now that Im reminded thats prolly a better way to go.

Make sure you save your original and work from the copy...just in case the automation doesn't go as expected.

Ash's method is the easiest way to do what you ask.
You dont have to draw the whole thing you can just add 4 points to the volume line, and then set the inner 2 to a lower volume, then just use the hand tool to move the points exactly where you want them.
