Here are links to his hacks using video to show audio waveforms:

Play audio in preview for timing (show as a waveform)

@David6816 @stephen and All! In addition to getting the sound to play in the Hype environment (i.e. no Preview required) I have found a way to include the sound’s waveform as well. The process is tad kludgey but with a minimum of practice the whole procedure takes roughly a minute to perform for a given soundtrack, whatever its length. The benefit of having the waveform visible in extended tracks (along with hearing the sound) is it allows the animator to visualize where the inflections are in …

Syncing animation to fixed audio track
