Modify multiple audio keyframes at the same time

It would be nice if there was a way to select and modify multiple audio keyframes at the same time.  Avid has a feature like this where any audio keyframes that fall within your set in & out points are modified.

I agree.

I don't know of an easy way to move multiple keyframes forward or backwards on the timeline, but have you tried the "Levels…" command? It does allow you to raise or lower a range of audio keyframes all at once. Not perfect but it does help.

As far as I can tell the "Levels" command just adjusts the entire clip.  Say you had 10 audio keyframes in a clip and just wanted to raise the middle 8 key frames +7dB, while leaving the first and last key frames at the same decible level (unaffected). 
Besides using the razor blade to splice the clip, how would you use the "Levels" command to do this?  ..
In and Out points don't seem to isolate (or "gang") the keyframes for adjustment, as in Avid.

You can indeed use the "Levels" command to alter only a part of a clip with multiple keyframes. Use either the "Range Selection Tool" (ggg keyboard shortcut) or use IN and OUT markers and then the "Select In to Out" command from the "Mark" menu. If you select between keyframes, Final Cut Pro will include the keyframes immediately before and after your selection.

Nice.  Thanks.

I'm cutting on FCP 7 today and maybe I'm misunderstanding the post, but neither of these options work for me.  I can select a portion of the clip as outlined above, but using the "Levels" command still adjust the levels across the entire clip, not just the audio keyframes that are contained within the selection.

Are you changing the levels by hitting control and plus or minus at the same time? That works.
