"Although noise is no longer much of an issue with low level recording,
the one drawback to under-recorded tracks is a lack of visual
resolution for editing purposes. Locating edit points visually when
the waveform has no vertical component or the extremely pixellated
rendering with maximum vertical magnification just makes for an
unnecessarily tedious editing task. Thus I try to get well modulated
levels, even with very quiet ambiences."


Makes me wonder how we ever managed to edit anything before being able to s=
ee the waveform.
I don't find using my ears to establish the edit point tedious, its the bes=
t way to judge the quality of the edit.
