How do I select a specific row of nodes in an automation envelope?

So I have this hip hop beat and I volume-automated the crap out of one of the verses, drawing different patterns and such for some glitch-sounding goodness. But I want it to be louder, which would only require me to select the top-most nodes and raise them. But I can only either select ALL nodes in the area, or select the top nodes one by one, which is insanely tedious when you have a really complex automation section. Am I missing something? I've looked around the help documents...

    You can lasso the nodes. Position your mouse near the middle of the clip so that it is underneath the envelope. Then click/hold and drag to create a lasso around the nodes you want to select.

    Keep in mind that you may need to zoom in quite a bit so the track is big enough for you to have room to create the lasso around only the nodes you want.

    Ahhh hahaha thank you so much :D

    What a tricky thing, would've taken a long time to stumble upon that myself.

    They should just have a key you can press while holding down left click to switch to lasso mode.

    If you just want the whole track to be louder, you can also raise the volume other ways like gain, or through a compressor.
