(Reaper) Can I magify the envelope lane vertically to a specific range?

Hi. Normally, I try to set the initial volume of newly added instrument tracks to -12dB or -6dB, as many mixing guides suggests. So I could prevent the mixed volume to go beyond 0dB.

In this case, the point values of envelope will be from -12dB to -6dB or -3dB considering that I adjust the relative volume of each tracks. So when I adjuest the each point vertically, I only utilize the 1/2~1/3 vertical headroom of a envelope lane. So if I want to do more precise adjusting, I need to enlarge the envelope lane too big vertically.

Can I do a adjusting to a specific range vertically?

The easiest solution is clicking at the envelope point, using the right-click menu of your mouse and entering the value manually...

I'm quite sure that there should be an option either in the Project Settings or in the Preferences...

Thank you Tricky-Loops.

Entering a numeric value is a good solution for a precise mixing. But I think that it is not good for visual aspect. It spares most of its headroom visually.

Is this the option that you mentioned?

Is there only the choice between +0 and +6 dB, can't you enter a value manually? :o

Would be a shame if nearly everything were customizable in REAPER but the automation envelope range weren't...
