Clip (Event) envelopes feature request

As a generally pleased Vega Pro user, I remain mystified at the lack of clip audio envelopes. I hope my comment about this oversight could be taken as a plea for adding this small feature.

Are you referring to an audio event envelope as opposed to the whole track envelope?

Yes, the audio event. Sorry, I guess "clip" is an outdated term.

I always found clip envelopes handy in Cakewalk/Sonar because they moved, copied, and deleted with the event. Closest Vegas comes to that functionality is the option to Lock Events to Envelopes so that track envelope points above events move with them. Auto-Ripple (ctrl-L) also lets you delete a portion of the timeline or close gaps, while moving affected track envelope points together with markers.

If you want to lower the volume of one event, you can do this. If you want to transition (like fade the level up and down) then you have to use the track envelope.

Yes I agree Event level envelopes for volume and animating audio FX would be useful. I had them years ago in a consumer editor that I used and miss them in Vegas.

Using Track envelopes and Lock Envelopes to Events doesn't always work with rippling. I've had keyframes get out of order.

As a workaround I split my audio clip so I can apply adjustment to just a part and if appropriate fade the ends to avoid any sudden change.

@NTO2care I've taken the liberty of amending your post title. I agree with you 100%. There are times when one wants to apply volume or FX adjustments to an Event. It is sensible, and more practicable, to apply them to the Event and not the track.

Actually with audio FX it doesn't appear we can animate them at either Event or Track level? At least I haven't found a way in VP21. Maybe another feature request?
