its an awsome feature in Pro Tools that you will become easily dependant upon. and it can be done in realtime.

I've requested this a couple of times. Most of the DAWs do it. I think Cubendo was the first DAW to implement it. 

Not long ago the fade in and fade out didn't change the waveform in Sonar but now they do, so at least that is a start.

I would prefer if it didn't do this.  I like to be aware of the transients near the point where the audio fades out.  Displaying them smaller doesn't help.

It should be an option in Preferences.

Feature request anyone?

Having clip fades optionally affect waveform appearance *is* an option, and was since the feature was added.

I think it is called "Display Clip Fade Attenuation" in the Display section of preferences.

I think it is important for waveforms to visually change with fades at either end of a clip. If the start of a clip has a transient sound present then you would see and hear it as such. 

If you apply a fade at the start of that clip, that start transient will all but disappear. The waveform shape should reflect that also. It is telling you the same thing as what you are hearing. Why would you want it any other way. 

Well I am used to the way it is. And I use my ears to decide these things.  I wont say its not nice to see a wave change but to me it has never been an important thing to have. I would never rely on a picture or any other visual when I have ears as my ultimate acoustic device.

The example about fades in Sonar is a good one for me. Though the option is there for it, it adds nothing to using a line and then confirm with listening. 

Whether a line or a change in wave form it still boils down to how it sounds.  

Why would you want it any other way. 

Editing.  Reaper and Samplitude both seem to behave more like SONAR in regards to waveform display and envelope settings.

I can see the benefit in a change but I think I would need a very convenient way to be able to switch it on and off.

Hi all,only for precision,Sonar had the clip gain feature three years before Protools 10. Best

Hmm I have "Display Clip Fade Attenuation" selected and my wave does not respond visually when drawing a volume envelope.  What am I missing here??!  ; )
