[UI] Volume reduction reduces visual waveform on clip (bad UX) #2257

Currently

Reducing the volume of an audio clip also reduces the drawn waveform in the timeline clip hence reducing/destroying the benefit of having a graphical waveform in the first place. (Similarly for increasing the volume of course.)

Expecting

  1. Using maximum real estate of my display/UI by leaving scale of waveform untouched!
  2. If wished, different graphical indicator like a horizontal line on the clip/waveform or maybe to different colours on the waveform top/bottom part (similar to a line just visual less distructive -- since a line would potentially cover important parts)

Easy solution/suggestion for the moment

Almost any other effect is also not visualized on the timeline clip so I would suggest to disable this "feature" for the moment till an overall UI-solution is found to bring back the value of the graphical waveform.

Seeing as this is a feature request rather than a bug I'm closing for now. We'll hopefully eb able to look at this sort of thing when live is further along and more stable.
