Hi John, The result of the analysis is not yet accessible but you can use VOCR to read the result. It still won't put you at the exact spot but you'll know the peak value. Technically, at that point, you can use the Strip Silence dialog to set the threshold just below that value and you'll be able to tab right to it. Frankly, it's all a bit of hurdle jumping and you'd probably be just as well off letting the track run through or even just shuttling through it at high speed. If it's a 5-minute song, it'll take like forty seconds to go through the whole tune and you'll have your peak value. > On Oct 28, 2018, at 12:27 PM, John Covici <cov...@ccs.covici.com> wrote: > > I am very surprised there is not a plug in which will do this.
