Using some of Gale's text but in the "how to" style of the original text I think "how to" is better. There's a typo "a peaks". The effect 'looks ahead' for peaks so that it can begin to lower the level smoothly just before the peak occurs. This is set by the 'Look ahea...

Display of the peak amplitude - for example with an "on hover" tool tip, or displayed in the status bar... Peak and/or Rms in the status bar for the selected region or cursor position OK so three votes for that? Anyone else? I'm sure others have asked for it. Wouldn't it be nice if there ...
