Keep audio levels when moving a clip

Is there a way to lock in audio levels on a clip? If I do an insert edit at the top of my video, moving the entire timeline contents down, the audio track levels and keyframes stay in place and are now no longer in sync throughout the sequence. Is there any way to reposition audio clips and keep the levels associated with them intact?

This is a good/tough question. I don't actually know but I just wanted to bump for visibility to see if we can get it on someone else's radar. The added challenge is that you can't even marquee select multiple keyframes at once. At least I can't in 2019.
Edit: Yes you can select multiple - it just has to be with the pen tool (See Meg's post below).

I don't understand your question. audio levels and keyframes are locked to the clip and you can move the clip and the levels and keyframes stay the same. I guess I'm missing something here. Are you saying you want to move the keyframes and levels in the audio clip to reflect their new position in relation to other clips in the timeline?

Pretty sure he is talking about keyframes that are added to the track itself:

and you move the clip and the keyframes move with the clip, correct? or is this some new feature of cc2020? or am I just being dense?

so this is a new feature of 2020? Just played with it (as it doesn't seem to be availabe in 2019 unless I'm missing someting) and wondering why you'ld want to use this feature. You can always nest multiple audio clips and apply the clip audio keyframes to the nest in the containing sequence... this is one of the reasons I try and scan this forum every day to see if there's something I'm missing...

This has been around for a while. It kind of works in conjunction with the audio track mixer, though admittedly I don't use it very often. I did just use it the other day for some panning.

If you are using Track keyframes as opposed to Clip keyframes, you can move your keyframes as a group by choosing the pen tool clicking down and dragging over the cluster (or all) the keyframes you want to move to select them, then click on one of the selected clips and reposition. Hold down the shift key when clicking on the selected clip to not shift the gain adjustments, just the temporal position:

Meg's gif shows probably the easiest way to do it. Strangely I did this on my end initially and it didn't work, but I may have been using the marquee tools. It does work with the pen.
