Is there a way to see pasted clips 'edges' in Waveform editor?

Question

Pretty new to Audition, but climbing the steep hill as I edit an audiobook...

I am wondering if there is a toggle or something so that I can see the 'edges' of clips (say, pasted in room tone over top of heavy breathing) in Wave form editor? In multi-track (this is not a multi-track file, just a mono) I can see the edges and slide them, but in Waveform, after I past in a clip, there is no visual evidence I made the paste? Or if i wanted to paste in some intro/outro music and add a fade in/out - without edges to the clip I can't adjust the fade?

I must be missing something obvious. Either in setup or the workflow of Audition.

Thanks.

Because of the 'destructive' way that Waveform view works, I'm afraid that this is not possible. Indeed, the reason that Multitrack (non-destructive) was introduced was to get around exactly the sort of issue you are describing. In terms of editing, Waveform view is remarkably restricted - but that's not where its strengths are. It is the only way to create multichannel files, and it's excellent for quickly trimming ends of othewise finished Multitrack projects - and saving them in different formats, and is the basis for batch processing - but as an editor it's really not what people need.

Editing in Multitrack makes much more sense, even for basic operations. For creating anything like an audiobook, I wouldn't think twice about using it.
