When I use Auto-Scale Wavevorm (in order to conveniently display low-level sounds) it appears that every single clip is scaled individually. This causes the waveform of some very low level clips, like room-tone, to be blown up out of proportion.
Is this normal behaviour, is it a bug, or have I overlooked a setting in the preferences ?

I believe that this is where Auto-scaling has gotten so far. IOW, it is normal and I agree that it is largely useless as it currently stands. I think correcting this is in the queue but I wouldn't guess where

Best,

It's old bug. Auto Scaling must scale all visible clips proportional, not every clip individually.

Bug or intended behavior, it drives me crazy that this is going on. I do a lot of audiobook editing/mastering and with all the edited room tone in my projects using 'autoscale' makes it really hard to see what's going on, and I find myself toggling back and forth between waveform scalings quite a bit. This is another item I really miss from Sonic. Merging, can you consider autoscaling waveform to media instead of individual clips?

Hi all,

This issue/improvement is already present in our Database, known as MT000787. We'll raise the priority for it.

Do some of you want to keep the current behavior and in addition have a Global auto-scale option? Or we should simply change the behavior to Global auto-scale, that's all.

Thanks,
Ricardo

Good news, thank you !

I'd vote for a "Global auto-scale" only since I don't like the current behaviour and wouldn't use if it were an option. But that's probably because I don't see any benefits in using the current behaviour. Anyone who does ?
On the other hand, amongst the myriads of Pyramix options, one more wouldn't harm, would it ? :)

I Love the old behavior!

Hi Ricardo,

This is great news! I'm with Kees in that I can't see a use for the current behavior but I have no objection to having it as an option.

Steve

Thanks all,

We'll implement the new behavior and try to keep the old one too.
