You add a volume (or other) change by selecting a region and drag the envelope up or down... the four transition points are added automatically. I use this procedure extensively when mixing audio and saves me lots of time, It works on all tracks and buses.

Double clicking on the envelope line adds a point but it is quirky and sometimes selects something else I don't want to change.

I do that sometimes but Im not sure that works during playback without pausing.. which I usually do anyway to minimize pain of unexpected jump if I missed the envelope.

I'll try doing more of this

What if you "Right-Click" and then choose "Add Point"?

Oooooooh... that's a thing?! I will check it out! Seems like it would minimize mis-click impact for sure!

I wonder if "add point" can be mapped to a keyboard shortcut? (Would still have to select the envelope I'd think)

Will try this when im back at the desk

What if you "Right-Click" and then choose "Add Point"?

Seems to work but alas no keyboard mapping.

Also tried using Excaliber's "Four Points" but it doesn't seem to work on busses so that's a no-go.

Tried using Vegasaur's "Envelope Points" which is neat BC it'll add either 4 points or single points "under cursor" on selected tracks OR busses -- but it doesn't seem to remember a user's choices so it can be quickly auto-applied with a single keyboard mapping... so not going to be an efficiency gain there.

I'll try the right-clicks or ye ol' "select region and drag" and see how that goes... :-)

Related --- Vegas I can right-click and add a point. Vegasaur and Excaliber tools could be useful here but miss slightly on efficiency for reasons mentioned.

And although both have a "four points" concept (including Vegas by selecting a region and dragging), none have a "TWO POINTS" concept.

When adding a point to adjust the envelope -- I really want to add a point as anchor so it doesn't affect everything beforehand, AND add a new point a bit after which I will be adjusting for what's ahead. It's similar to four-points, but without adding end-markers who's positions I don't yet know anyway since I'm doing my finishing work linearly.

 

@RedRob-CandlelightProdctns make your own script that behaves exactly like you want. Here's the first of a 5 part tutorial series on envelopes:

When I wrote Excalibur, I wasn't thinking about bus tracks. While that could easily be added, it would be much quicker to just write a script that does exactly what you're wanting to do.
