Is there a way to change double-click behavior on envelopes?

I use envelopes a lot while editing audio in my projects.

I double-click to add a point.

If I don't get the line quite correctly, Vegas highlights/selects an entire event, or sometimes the track, and jumps the timeline cursor to the beginning of that selected region. VERY annoying! If do that double-click before pausing the video it's even more annoying as it changes the position and I have to find out where I was.

Is there a way to DISABLE the double-click-to-select-full-event behavior? (I searched this forum, and also explored Vegas preferences, but couldn't find it)

What other tips are there to help add points and tweak envelopes during playback?

  • I do have a compressor on my master audio output
  • My preference is to adjust volume envelopes on a master PIT bus and body pack bus, rather than just push everything up and squash it with a master compressor-- when possible I try to still maintain some level of dynamics while keeping spoken dialog at reasonable levels.
