Need a music editor with a special non-destructive edit feature.

Long time REAPER user here, and adobe audition user in the long past.

In REAPER you could do it by automating the controls of an EQ plugin, the default ones are fine, like ReaEQ. Once you click or modify any of the settings in the plugin window, look for the "Param" icon in the top right. The drop down heading should say "Last touched: XXXX" and underneath that you have options, you'll want "Show track envelope".

In you timeline you can then manipulate the envelope to be in discrete blocks, or smoothly transitioning between points. For the default plugins at least, REAPER will list points in their respective units, ie dB in this case. Other plugins may only have numerical values, like 0-1 etc.

I've always liked Goldwave for stuff like that. Here is directly changing a section of audio in dB and another option that allows you to shape the volume over time.  And there is an option to show the envelope to make adjusting easier.

xxx$ / month.   WTF is this BS.  No thank you.
I'll stick with the original, even though limited due to age CoolEditPro 2000.

Arrrgggg, instead of making some sort of project file, Saving in Goldwave corrupted my source file, destroying it.  Once save, there was no 'undo'.

Unfortunately, Goldwave has only destructive editing.

It looks like Reaper is the winner by necessary feature.  Not the best intuitive interface, but, it doesn't touch my source files and creates a 9kb project file which contains all my manipulations / edits / setup which I can modify / undo across the save as well as save as a new project.  Then when ready, I just render the final audio output file.

Reaper should be able to do it, but there is a learning curve. What I do is open a volume envelope display under the waveform timeline. I'll enter a point wherever I want a change and make enough points to make the envelope I want. The cursor hover will show exactly what the level is.

Reaper is not free, but the evaluation time is unlimited and unrestricted, except for a nag delay. However, it's good enough and so fairly priced (a license covers 2 major revisions, typically several years, but you can just keep using your old version) that I recommend paying the $60USD.
