Audio editor plugin for logic 9?

Question

Hi,
I've started to use Logic's audio editor and after alot of use finding it slow and cumbersome. Its good for engineers but not musicians. It seems tedious just to cut and slice a track around and move add effects. Like say you want to up the gain of a section you highlight it go to gain but can't seem to listen to the track and hear the difference you make as you up the gain. You have to change the gain process it then listen to it if your not happy undo and do it again.
You can do all the above very easy in Cubase, Cakewalk sonar and adobe sound booth. I'm wondering if I've missed something? If not is there a plugin you can get that will make this easy to do etc or is it to maybe start looking at another program?
Cheers
Joe

I know the Waveform editor leaves a bit to be desired, and I personally tend to use it as little as possible.
But you can raise and lower the gain of a region very simply in the arrange window, select the region you wish to alter and go to the inspector on the top left of the arrange window. You will see a "Gain" entry there, click on the number and drag up or down to raise or lower the gain of that region.
Just thought this might help.
