The peak meters are virtually useless. VU’s would be very welcome. Even better a single needle type VU with adjustable reference level for mixing versus mastering…O.K., with a peak light.
If it were me, I’d prefer a GUI that is, I suppose, a little more “professional.” By professional, I mean a little simpler. The whole form follows function thing. Ruthlessly so. Where every graphic is selected for it’s function only. Beauty serves functionality. I think they are not mutually exclusive anyway.
When I’m doing very, very large projects, every single step takes some fraction of time. Searching for something, clicking for something, an extra step here…an extra menu there. So simplicity is very important imho.
