The majority of users are importing music. And that music is usually compressed to death. It's as simple as that. If that is the primary concern, then I venture to say that a better solution would be for "show clipping" to be enabled by default. It would be virtually impossible for a sigh...

So if you had seen this as the track view when making a voice recording, would you have tried to push it higher, or would you have been satisfied that it was high enough? firsttrack005.png Actually I've always worked with and managed level with the meters rather than the waveforms.

I'm not at all too sure if discussing is a favorite sport here. I went over ALL the feature requests on this forum and most seem to result in some besides-the-point discussion ending in nothing at all besides some ego lifting. But hey, if that's the way you like it... Hahaha - actually we do like a...

I've been browsing the manual a lot lately and hadn't discovered that one yet. Good old image maps... Thanks for the tip! You have to thank Bill Wharrie for that - it's known internally among Audacity Team as "Bill's-amazing-image-map" 8-) As a documenter I find myself using that main pag...
