I'm having trouble figuring out how to show the spikes and sound lines in the audio tracks in the timeline using Final Cut Pro 6. I've used Premiere and it is just one click away. I can't seem to find it with FCP. First time using FCP. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If you control-click on the Sequence in the browser and go into Sequence Settings, there is an option to display waveform in the timeline.

Or, faster, the little flyup menu on the bottom left of the timeline, check "show audio waveforms".

thanks a lot. it took me a good half an hour playing with FCP and googling for an answer with no luck yesterday.
