WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 7
Adjusting individual envelope points
You can set the level of each envelope point by dragging it up or down. As you move an envelope point, a
tooltip displays both the point’s occurrence on the timeline and its level.
Other ways to set the level include:
• Right-click an envelope point and choose a setting from the shortcut menu.
• Choose
Select All from the shortcut menu to raise or lower all points on the envelope.
• Right-click an envelope point and choose
Set To from the shortcut menu. This displays a box in which
you can specify a setting.
You can adjust an envelope point’s location on the timeline by dragging it right or left. If snapping is
enabled, the envelope point snaps to time divisions as you drag. Hold while dragging to override
snapping. For more information, see Using snapping on page 78.
Flipping envelopes
You can flip an envelope to invert the envelope around its center.
1. Right-click a track that has an envelope. A shortcut menu appears.
2. From the shortcut menu, choose Flip Envelope, and choose the type of envelope to flip from the submenu.
Changing envelope fade curves
You may set the type of fade curve that occurs between envelope points: linear, fast, slow, smooth, sharp, or
hold. To change the fade curve, right-click an envelope between two envelope points and choose the
appropriate fade curve from the shortcut menu.
Locking envelope points to an event
From the Options menu, choose Lock Envelopes to Events if you want envelope points to move with an event
when it is moved along the timeline.
Using the Envelope tool
The Envelope tool is designed to manipulate multiple envelope points. Use the Envelope tool when you
want to edit envelope points but do not want to change other elements of the project. With the Envelope
tool selected, events cannot be moved or edited.
Selecting and moving envelope points
To select multiple envelope points using the Envelope tool, click the track that contains the envelope and
drag your cursor in the track view to select the points you want to move. Selected points display in an
alternate color. Click any selected point and drag it to the new position; all selected points will follow.
To deselect the points, click anywhere outside the selection.
