Re: [Avid-L2] hate the new timeline audio monitoring

The key is to switch overlays off and on (option+W) and to add audio KFs without switching to the Pen tool. With the Selection tool active, Option activates the Pen tool if the overlays are visible (thanks, Martin Baker). Also, there is no need for separate Clip level and Auto level displays. I doubt we'll ever see that in Media Composer as I imagine they are locked in the depth of the legacy code.
