so the title says it all kinda i just need a plugin that shows the audio like in flipaclip so it is easy to time stuff while doing animation (i dont use flipaclip because it is only for phones and stuff and i like krita alot more) if anyone can help me then that would be great!
Hello and welcome to the forum 
If you’re desperate to see the audio waveform, you can use Audacity but it’s quite fiddly to set up and align it:

thank you, ill give it a look! do you have any tips on setting it up?
Open the audio file in Audacity.
Do Tracks -> Mix -> Mix Stero down to Mono to give a single audio waveform.
Do Effect -> Amplify then press OK to accept the suggested amplification to maximise the size of the waveform.
Grab the bottom of the audio waveform window and drag it up to make it less tall.
You might want to do View -> Toolbars and turn off the Selection Toolbar to get rid of the big lump of time selection data at the bottom of the window. (That is something I didn’t do for the screenshot I posted.) However, that can be useful for fine control of time range selection if you want to try it later for scale and position matching.
Then adjust the Audacity and Krita window sizes to suit and make sure the left side of the Audacity window is adjusted to line up the time/frame start positions.
Then it’s the tricky part: adjust the scaling of the Audacity audio track to match the scaling of the Timeline.
Krita’s Timeline is in frames and Audacity’s time is in minutes:seconds, so you’ll need some mental arithmetic or a calculator.
Click-drag to select a section of the audio waveform from 0 seconds to a time that matches the length (in seconds) of the Timeline (or use the Selection Toolbar controls, if you haven’t disabled them), then do Fit Selection To Width (Ctrl+E).
That will give matching time scaling between them, assuming you get it right which you probably won’t the first time.
You may have noticed that I didn’t get the scaling right - The 10 second position does not line up with the frame-120 position.
If you don’t get it right, zoom out one step in Audacity and click-drag adjust the end point of the audio selection to a new/better value and do Ctrl+E again. Repeat until you get it right, using the Selection Toolbar numerical controls if you prefer.
Position matching is up to you by manual movement of the scroll bars and arithmetic calculations, or you can do wavefom display rescaling/repositioning with the Selection Toolbar and Ctrl+E.
It’s not pretty and it’s not fun but it works.
Good Luck
