How about going into the event view - the start of the audio would show up there. Unfortunately, this won't work if you've got recorded silence before your signal really kicks in. Best wishes.

Wonder if you could use audiosnap for this. Get it to serch for the next transient? In Sonar 8.5 this is easy cause you can do this with the tab key. You can't do that with the tab key in an earlier version though.

If there isn't any, it would just take you to the end of the track. From: Dave C <mailto:dgcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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
