How do you move an audio keyframe without changing volume level?

    I'm assuming you're talking about doing this in the timeline on a clip, so if that's the case you can click on the keyframe so it's blue and then hold shiftto constrain your movement. If you hold Shift and then click the already blue keyframe then it will become deselected. You can also open the Effects Controls panel, click on the clip, twirl down the Volume parameters and twirl down Level. This will give you access to a linear view of the keyframes where you don't have to worry about accidentally changing the volume.

    Thanks David! I did try SHIFT, but it didn't work... so this time I tried the RIGHT SHIFT which works fine, but LEFT SHIFT no good. (Windows 10)

    Even when I try right shift, although it constrains the volume movement to a certain degree, it still adjusts the volume by over 1 db each time I move a keyframe in the timeline which is extremely frustrating. I have recently moved to Windows 10 after years of editing in Premiere on Mac OS, I never noticed this issue until I moved over.
