Hi All  
New 10.5 elements install  
When Recording or viewing an imported wav, in the project window, it appears distorted and too loud  
When I check in the Inspector window, wav displays at correct level.  
This is confusing when recording  
is it a setup issue  
Thanks in advance

There is a little vertical slider on the upper right side of the Project Window that controls the zoom on the wave display.
