How can I see the wave of a whole track like on soundcloud?

When you upload to soundcloud you get to see all the dynamics and changes and see where its muddy and what not. I find its really useful to see changes/corrections and actually SEE where its happening.
How can I do this without actually repeatedly uploading to soundcloud?
Im using Ableton Live 8.2. Not sure if there is a way built into the DAW or maybe some kind of program or something you can do to see this?

Export the track as audio. Reimport the audio track back in.

thats def easier, thanks wub, I just thought there might be a simpler way to do it in realtime as you make changes

oscilloscope plugin if you want to see it in real time

What they said.. Also audacity is a pretty handy program to have, it's free.

Why do you seem so concerned with soundcloud waveforms

maybe im not describing it right, idk just like being able to see where the volume changes are. I always seem to have trouble with getting levels down to the right place for buildups/drops. And I feel like it would help me learn to be able to see what I was doin ya kno? Im obviously trying to develop the ability to do it all by ear, but im just not there yet and I think this would help, being able to see how changes x,y,z parameters in the track changes the overall dynamics of it.

Im not sure, but Im assuming other DAWs would come with a visual representation of the dynamics in some way/shape/form? In FLStudio, when we need to examine something dynamically, we can put a 'fruity limiter' on the track and it has a display that shows whats happening dynamically...
Like this... See, if you turned the 'ceiling/threshold' knob clear to full it wouldnt be limiting or compressing your signal, just showing you a dynamics display... Ableton doesnt have anything like this?
