Thanks for this tip dick. In the book Zero to Hero, Audio Editing digrams &
txts refer to and illustrate "waveform to indicate volume" Is this possible
in MM? And if so how can I get to view the 'waves setup@ which I think would
be very helpful?
Many thanks

zoom into the timeline - Page-Up and Page-Down keys is one way.... and raise
the timeline view height by dragging the horizontal divider between the
collections and the project.... also touch the audio track with the mouse
if it needs a wake up.
