Call me dense but I just discovered during a session last 
night that you could reach up top and grab the "fader 
handle" (usually used to fade the beginning and ends of 
Events)in the middle of an Event and pull it down to bring 
the level, and wave form appearance, of the whole EVent 
down at once (this is besides the usual volume "envelope" 
tool).
I didn't see any mention of this in the help file or 
documentation and haven't explored the full ramifications 
of using it yet but thought perhaps someone else might want 
to check it out.
KAC...
