Do you have Sound Forge? If so, stick the file in there then press 'L' multiple times to scroll thru fairly rapidly. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Carlson To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 5:34 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: [Bulk] Re: Searching for Audio Content on a Mostly Blank Track Bill, Again this is a single continuous recording, so only a single event. Within that event I want to delete any blank material past let's say 25 minutes, but without listening through the entire remaining 55 minutes to ensure that it truly blank, I'm taking a risk of cutting away some other recorded material. How do I search in a track, in a single event, to see if there are any other transients, peaks, etc. in a selected 55-minute section?

Check it out in SONAR 7 and see. I know longer have 7 on my machine.

Does the tab key work there?

If there isn't any, it would just take you to the end of the track. From: Dave C Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2010 1:56 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Searching for Audio Content on a Mostly Blank Track Got a question. Let's say I've recorded a track from a 90-minute cassette tape and after about 35 minutes of audio, the rest of that tape appears to be blank. However before I just delete everything from where the audio ends to the end of the entire 90-minutes of recording, how would I be able to quickly scan through the remaining 55 minutes of recording to ensure that it is really all blank? Is there some sort of a scan feature that would quickly analyze a portion of a track for any audio content and give me the hh:mm:ss of that audio? Dave
