Chris, I see that you've understood my problem. I just don't want to cut off 55 minutes of recording, assuming that it's all blank. However no Sound Forge in my collection. Any way to use Sonar Producer 7 or a plug-in and get the same results?

It will show you average and peak loudness for the selected audio, plus the location of maximum peaks. That will give you an idea at least. At 01:56 AM 7/6/2010, you wrote: >Got a question.
