Waveform 14 released.

I wish there was a hotkey to hide/unhide it, and I wish the whole transport area could be hidden, or moved, too.

Hotkey to show/hide what exactly? Pretty sure every panel has an option to show or hide except transport. You might have to assign your own keystroke perhaps, can't remember

I didn't have the bottom.control panel visible much, but I still miss it as it was.my hack to get a quick 'big meter', by selecting the level meter and locking the control panel.

Not sure how i inserted my reply in a quote lol

To hide the new transport area that fills the whole bottom pane. On WF 13, I had a template to have the transport controls to the right, in line with the meters. and the whole bottom panel could be hidden, using that button in the upper right that shows/hides different areas.

With WF 14 there's no option to hide the bottom panel, so I doubt a hotkey can be assigned. I just discovered you can hide all your inputs, but the track numbers row remains- not sure why anyone would do that. Why not just hide that whole panel?? The whole right side can be hidden. I guess over time, I may discover the logic behind some of this stuff.

WF 14 looks sleeker, while having more stuff loaded by default. Ahh...if I undock the Edit window, there's no transport stuff at the bottom. Guess I'll just have to get used to all this stuff.

So I caved and went for
Ableton Full suite.
Hello logical workflow and a programe I can concentrate on making music and not have to be a computer programer to do simple stuff

The reason I used to like Waveform was that its workflow was more logical, but the UI of version 14 is really a bit messy.

Initially, I missed the properties panel, but after playing with WF14 this weekend, I kinda see the logic in it, and it's detachable. I wish there was a hotkey to hide/unhide it, (...)

Do I understand correctly that you here refer to the Actions Panel?

You can set your own hotkey to hide/unhide the Actions Panel:
SETTINGS - KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS - "Show or hide actions panel"

By the way, interesting is also the keyboard shortcut for "Show or hide plugins, browser and actions panel". This quickly makes big space for the arranger, or quickly brings back in all panels for accessing a tool from some menu.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: it's towards the bottom of the list, under the heading "View".

I was thinking of the Transport Panel, that seems locked in place. But thanks for the tip. I like as much real estate as possible, and use as many hotkeys as I can remember.
