The way the sound wave are represented (dB or linear) are still much better in other programs than Audacity - like the good old cool edit , sad to say
When sound-editing - I need to see/know what going on the top of a wave - the things in the middle are not interesting in sound editing, for me: Where is the crack, where are the fluctuations, where are the off-beats, Where ais the bas-drum and so on
Please see the attachment and this thread https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/need-a-vertical-with-focus-on-range-from-0-to-10-db/51598/8 cause we have been debating is before - and it was on a to-do-list
Best regards - I hope I a day will have Audacity as my main sound-editing program
