I am very impressed by the smart sound music, something that I used very rarely when I last used Studio 7 a few years ago. Here is a way to make it better.

Make the music volume adjust during the scene depending on whether the talent is speaking. For instance, my scenes always include a few seconds at the start of background noise before the person starts speaking, and again at the end. Instead of my manually reducing and raising the volume, it would be nice if Studio suggested the right sound for me.

Of course, I wouldn't want the music to get higher and softer after... every... minor... pause... in... the... talking (think how bad this would be for Shatner). So, ideally, we would be able to adjust the sensitivity of this setting. But the rule would be that we need louder music and the start and end, but not the middle.
