Since updating the waveforms aren’t changing size when I use the envelope tool so if the envelope tool is not selected I cannot see the changes in volume in the clip. That makes it really difficult to use. Is this a bug or is there something new in using the envelope tool that I’m missing?
There is this regression bug that has already been fixed for the upcoming 3.6.2 release:

Clips
### Bug description
When an Envelope is applied to a clip that starts after z… ero, the affect on the waveform is incorrectly offset.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Generate a 10 second tone
2. Apply a non-destructive fade-in to the first 2 seconds using the Envelope tool.
3. Slide the clip to the right so that it starts at time = 5 seconds
### Expected behavior
The fade is expected to remain in the same place relative to the clip.
### Actual behavior
The fade appears to have stretched to the right, even though the Envelope control points are still in the correct places relative to the clip.

### Audacity Version
3.6.0 / Audacity 3.7.0-alpha
### Operating system
Linux, Windows, MacSO
### Additional context
Originally reported on the forum: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/envelope-help-what-am-i-doing-wrong/112247
Confirmed on Linux.
This is a serious bug that also affects existing projects created in previous versions.

That’s great news, Thank You Peter!
As a workaround you can use Adjustable Fade instead of the envelope tool.
The problem is that Adjustable Fade is a destructive effect, whereas an Envelope is real-time. You can change an Envelope at any time.
“Destructive effect”? It can be undone, until you find the right settings.
Yes, it can be undone. But what if you make a bunch of other changes in other tracks and then find the fade is not quite right?
