Looking good Sean and Team! I did notice with the last 2 releases, for me anyways, when I click on the zoom, the wave form disappears. I can click where it is supposed to be, it reappears. When I put in an effect in the grid, it disappears,...the only hinderence is when doing timing marks from the wave form, it disappears, reappears, etc...is anyone else experiencing this... I'm running Windows 7. I uninstalled completely, and reinstalled, and still does the same thing...

The waveform refresh issue appears to be fixed in 4.0.9. Although it messed up the waveform refresh 4.0.8 did add some great improvements to the responsiveness of the application. Watch this video to see how it improved between 4.0.7 and 4.0.8. And then 4.0.9 fixes the flashing you see in the video which also should fix it disappearing for some users. The funny thing is you can hear me think of the idea of to fix this while I'm making the video.
