Default How do you change pencil tool automation depth?

I have drawn triangle volume automation, on a eighth note grid, on an electric guitar track. My question is how can I change the depth of the triangles to minutely tweak the vibrato without having to redraw the automation to try and get close to the depth I am looking for.

I have highlighted the automation and used the trimmer tool to try and do this but it is lowering the whole automation volume keeping the drawn depth. I want to change the depth but keep the initial volume where it is.

Thanks in advance.

I'm quite certain that you will have to redraw it. But that shouldn't be difficult. Click where you want the initial volume of the triangle waves to be, then draw over what you have without moving your cursor so high or low vertically.

Thanks Dizzi, I will try it. I am trying to adjust the depth in say 1db increments. It seems that when I have redrawn it I can get withing 2.5 to 3 db increments. Will post back and let you know how it goes. If anyone else has any other ideas, please share.
Thanks

You are right, that would be a great feature. But I'm quite certain there is no way to do that.
