Is there a fast way to adjust the volume for an entire video clip all at once?

I can do it by ...
Selecting the video clip
Hold shift key down
Place cursor on audio line in the clip, until the cursor turns into a double arrow.
And.. drag up or down with the mouse.

This will make the complete audio volume go up or down at same amount for the entire clip.
This is kind of difficult to get precise settings.

I'm look ing for a way to do the same thing by typing in a db number, and haver it effect the entire clip at once.

Any other method seems to make the volume adjust in the spot where the cursor is placed. Requiring me to make more than one cursor position to get the entire clip adjusted. Ageing Gracefully

It might seem counter-intuitive, but you can do this exactly by using a single volume keyframe.

Select the clip, click on the Keyframe button above the timeline, then expand the Volume control. Type in the dB level you want, and since there's only a single keyframe, that value will hold for the entire duration no matter where the keyframe is located.

If you want multiple clips set to the exact same level, right-click on the original clip and choose Copy Keyframe Attributes. Next, deselect it and select as many other clips as you want, then right-click and choose Paste Keyframe Attributes. That's it!

Another way to do it:
1) F9 to enter Audio mixing room
2) Select the clip to adjust
3) By default the scrubber should be at the beginning of the clip, if not, use the "Home" key to make sure you are at the beginning of the clip
4) Type a dB number in the proper Audio track and the Enter key
5) Use the "End" key to go to the end of the clip
6) type the same dB number and Enter key

The whole clip will be adjusted a typed dB level.

Thanks to you both! I never thought of using the [Home] & [End] keys to jump to beginning & end.

Appreciate the quick responce.

Edit: I would have liked it to be able to just R-Clk on clip, and have a pop up selection, to adj the entire clip volume.
Adjusting the complete clip volume is something I do often.
