To open non-SONAR envelope display on a percentage scale
You can globally configure the placement of 0 dB for your envelopes in the Clips pane. The default
placement in the Clips pane of 0 dB is roughly 1/3 from the top of the clip. You can change the
position of 0 dB in all envelopes to the middle of the clip.
There are several advantages when using the Envelope Display on a Percentage Scale option:
• It makes it easier to tell if there have been any changes.
• There is a finer resolution around 0 dB.
To display envelopes on a percentage scale
•Go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display and select the Display Envelopes on
Percentage Scale check box.

Note: In Envelope mode, newly created volume clips appear at the same dB value as the current
Vol setting. For example, if the Vol setting is +3 dB, a newly created volume envelope appears
above the middle of the clip.
