There is a way to adjust the "gain" of the waveform display in Avid. Not track height but the actual waveform envelope. IIRC highligth the audiotrack and its opt+cmd+KorL to make it bigger or smaller within the existing track height. If those key combos don't work try the other usual suspects. It's definately in there. Maybe someone who uses the feature more will chime in. HTH

If I look at the waveform, in my standard(normal timeline view), (2 or 3 V trks and 4 A trks not to tiny, but not huge, I see basically a square wave. Open the same file in a "real" audio program, ie Audition, Sound Track Pro, waveform looks good. If I take the Avid timeline audio track and Command K it till it's almost full screen, then I see what looks like a normal waveform. Open the same file in DS and the waveform height seems relative to track height.
