Volume envelopes will do it (like the guide rules in Photoshop).

You can also place your cursor near the top of an event/clip, and you'll see the cursor change to a hand. Click and drag down, this will reduce level of the event/clip. (In Vegas terminology, these are called "events.")

Yes, I see them, but they only seem to lower the volumes. I want to boost them beyond the top of the frame. Some of the audio levels between clips vary in volume.

Right click the event/clip and down the list there is an option that will expand out and "normalize" will be an option. Click it and it will make it louder as long as there are no peaks in that event/clip. I would tell you what the word is on the right click mouse menu, but it escapes me and I am not in front of my editor now.

Or you can use the "normalize all" script.

and you can make 'splits' around those soft spots and 'Normalize' them alone, to get the best volume kick.

Or you can raise the track volume level and pull down the gain on the other events.

Or you can apply non-real-time FX by right-clicking the event (e.g. Volume)

Or you can put a duplicate event on another track in the same position.

Or you can apply a volume envelope to the track (or master audio bus), and raise the volume where the event occurs using nodes (points) along the envelope.

Or use the compression FX in the track header, it's there by default but effectively set to bypass.

Ok I see where I can increase the volume of the entire clip but what about increasing just a portion of it like below....talent dropped their voice or I want to emphasize something.

Also, why don't I see the audio fx icons on my clips? I see the video icon? Even after I apply one with apply non realtime fx?
Is there some setting I have turned off, or am I missing the boat on how this thing works?

Audio FXs can ONLY be applied to a track, not to events.

You can use the volume envelopes, just reduce everything by say 10dB and then add upto 16dB gain when needed. A bit of light compression will help keep things in line as well. Suggest you add the compression to the buss, not the tracks.

Best thing is to RTFM, look at the audio flowchart, it takes a little while to soak it all in but there's not much you can't do audio wise in Vegas.
