The volume envelope now displays the change in gain of the waveform, so when you draw a deep fade, for instance, the waveform reduces to barely a line. I found the previous behavior a lot more useful - when it did not change the display of the waveform until the envelope was applied to the file or selection. Here's why: when doing a mix - say music ducked under voice - it's nice to see the waveform full sized to spot where the beats or hooks or whatever are so I can sweep the audio back up at the right point. The new behavior makes that harder to do without a lot of trial-and-error placement of handles to adjust the envelope, etc. I think it would be nice to have a preference to choose the previous behavior or the new one.
What do you think?
