Premiere Audio Meters - Bars disappear when playback stops

I'm new to Premiere Pro and I can't find an answer anywhere for this. Coming from Final Cut Pro 7, I've noticed a big difference to how the audio meters work between the two. In FCP7, if you stop playback, the meters will hold in place on the last frame you stop on. This helps a lot by stepping through an audio fadeout so that you can see exactly which frame the audio activity turns to silence. In Premiere Pro, the bars drop completely after stopping playback. I've been trying to use the waveforms but that usually requires resizing the audio tracks back and forth between viewing the waveforms and going back to editing which I don't love. Does anyone know of a way to get the audio meters bars to hold at the level for each frame?

I just found a workaround. Just scrub through the moments you want to see the pick and hold down the LMB. Now you can see each track volume.

That feature is really needed. I've noticed that Avid has the same feature as you mentioned about FCP too.

Say you are doing a heavy audio edit and you have multiple sounds playing at the same time.
For a moment You feel a sound is a bit loud.
If this feature existed, you simply put the playhead right on the moment you heared the mismatch sound and by looking at the meteres in audio clip mixer, simply find the sound that has high level volume.
Otherwise you need to solo each track and listen to each of thoes sound!

Has anybody come across any solution to this?

Alas no audio no bars. I think that is normal behaviour for audio levels.

you can, I think, assign keyboard shortcuts to quickly toggle between timeline magnification vertically and horizontally (seperately), and you can create timeline presets in the timeline display settings (the wrench icon at the top left of the timeline) and assign shortcut keys to that will help with this.
