Although i've been dealing with some bugs as expected. I want to say i REALLY like 8.5 and all the updates it has brought. I Don't mind the reorginizing of menus, in fact i feel that they are better suited now. High visibilty editing is great! But, speaking of visibility, one of my lomg time requests for an update is being able to see audio waveforms in the source monitor when loading the clip from a bin. That black screen, ugh. yes i use toggle in timeline but it has always been just an extra step that takes me out of an edit. Being able to move clips up and down from track to track with keyboard is the other one that i still hold out hope for. With previous version updates of muting clips (woohoo!), maybe there's a chance. Keep up the good work AVID!
