Please allow us to toggle this feature. I would NOT want this on my laptop as it would be a huge waste of screen space

This would be really useful. It would speed up finding the right parts in interviews a lot. I would suggest putting the waveform as a small overlay over the video footage (Resolve style), instead of stacking it. And than of course with the option to toggle it on or off.

OMG guys, when are you adding this - editing documentary without this and using markers is so painful!!

If I had to add anything it would be to allow user to choose which audio track(s) they want to see/use

Coming from FCPX where it's a simple tick of a box to view both vision & waveforms, I really can't believe this isn't a feature here. Please add.

While we're talking improvements for the source window, a very small thing that I would like to see that's along the same lines:
When you are viewing the waveform, currently you can only drag the audio or the video to the timeline individually, but not both. When video is being viewed in the source monitor, you can just click the image and drag it to the timeline and will get both audio and video, however in the audio view, clicking and dragging scrubs through the waveform. It would be as simple as adding a 3rd button to the icons below the source that has both video and audio with a link symbol that would allow to drag both from there.

I would love this with a mute button for the Source monitor for scrubbing B-roll.

I've done the toggling thing plenty, but for longer interviews I'll put the whole clip (or series of clips) in a sequence, open the audio time line and use the waveforms there to do the same thing, but cut out the parts I don't want, so I'm left with edited selects. If I'm careful to place markers on the tracks (rather than the in the sequence time line) I'll even have marked master clips ... case I need them.

This is seriously so simple yet such a good feature. Why haven't they done this from the beginning?
