Well, the echo effect is a cool idea. But as far as simply adjusting the 

volume level, why not apply it to the original instance of the sound, using 

the volume handles? I believe the original problem was how to raise and 

lower the volume dynamically, and so adding the sound in another layer will 

not achieve this because that's in effect from the time the first sound 

starts, and if you jump to another frame with the sound doubled up, it will 

start up again, creating a hiccup.
