Doesn't SHIFT+Click move a dragged object 1/10th as much as a normal drag?  Or am I mixing that up with CNTRL+Shift?

rico, u are right for the DB levels however it doesn't seem to apply for the automation nodes. Trust me iv tried lol. and Drank, i was aware of that feature however itll only apply to 1 node at a time. Not very efficient when im using a mass amount of nodes. I am not really aware of this offset feature so i will look into it and try looking at the documentation i guess. Perhaps this could be a suggestion to the Bakers to add a feature to shift the whole automation line up or down a set amount perhaps similar to the way u use the properties option for individual nodes.

Once I have the dynamics of the track where I want them, I'll use the offset to fine tune the entire track's volume.

Offset is a great feature - except when you forget that it's on and wonder why your automation isn't working correctly. Not that I've ever done that, of course. Especially not yesterday 

Craig can you explain what the offset actually does and how to use it?

You can shift the whole envelope up/down.
 
I'm not 100% sure of the correct way to do it, but with the entire track visible and the track maximised (best to do this in the parent track because you can make it higher than a take lane), click & drag  in the lower half of the track to highlight a range (make sure it encompasses the entire envelope), then move your cursor to the top until it turns into and up/down arrow separated by an I-beam on its side, then click & drag up/down.
 
It takes far more time to write down than actually do it

hmmm, thanks BJ - I think I get that.
