Please Don't Remove The Previous Timeline

Hello,
I saw on Descript that the timeline has been changed, and that the previous one will disappear in the future.
There is, of course, still the option to go on Settings, General, and Labs to toggle it on or off, but please keep that toggle there.
Your previous timeline is much more easier to use, this new one is very confusing and counter-intuitive.
Keep that toggle with the option for the previous timeline and the new timeline, for all users to use Descript how they prefer.
This is coming from someone who loves using Descript, so please keep the toggle option there for the two timelines.
Thank you!

please give us the option to keep the old timeline view! the new version offers less intuitive fine-tuning for audio editors. the new version looks like it would be useful for people coming into editing for the first time and simplifying the process. but for people looking to really get into the editing process, having the ability to keep that view is really necessary. we need to see the waveforms up close!

i'm actually not sure it's true - i used to be able to toggle the old timeline, but now i can't. no matter how many times i toggle that in the settings and /or restart the descript, it's still this horrible new timeline, i can't access the old one anymore.

Afonso, thanks SO MUCH for pointing at a way to have the old timeline editing!! I've just taken a 2 day break from editing and was horrified to find the new editing layout and timeline. I asked support and they told me there is no way to access the old editing mode, just to discover thanks to your comment that there IS a way!
This speaks poorly of their support, with is of course AI-generated.
I am so glad I found your post!! 🙏
