How to find max audio peak of combined audio tracks with effects applied?

Hello all,
I am working in PPro CS5.5.
Often when I am working on a timeline I have two audio tracks of the same songs, one from the camera and one from a separate sound recorder, synced on the timeline so they combine into one signal. Applied to these tracks I might have an E.Q. effect or highpass/lowpass filter. Now I know that the max peak of each track or individual clips is easy to find using the 'Audio Gain' menu item, what I am hoping for is the equivalent of that menu item but related to the final output after the two tracks signal has been added together and effects have been all been applied? It is a very laborious task to have to listen through the whole timeline to discover if the output is going over 0db, if there was a way I could locate on the timeline where the max output is, that would definitely solve the problem.
Finding the way to do this would save literally hours per project! It's the one thing that makes me inwardly groan when I have to effect the output volume, which I have to do most of the time.
Hopefully,
Peter.

I have found audio to be more difficult to learn than video. Audio has so much more subtlety, where perceptions don't always equate to what seems obvious. With multiple tracks adding together things get very complex very fast and peak amplitude has very little relationship to volume. When you compress a waveform the volume can be increased! Who'd have thunk it? Then you have S/N ratios and harmonics, soft clipping and hard clipping... Which brings me to the option on the Dynamics Effect called Soft Clip that is a smoother kind of limiter.
It's amazing where a simple one line suggestion can lead you; having worked a bit more with the dynamics 'effect' I am deciding that I like it a lot. The automation is not absolute but it broadens the tolerances I can work within. Very liberating!

  • HOW to find out the tablespace space utilized by a patch after applying the

    someone has already applied the patch in test env before recording the tablespace size , so I cannot find out the figure in test env.
    So is there any general practice or general guidelines on it?
    hOW to find out the tablespace space utilized by a patch after applying the patch?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sree.
    Edited by: 846579 on Mar 22, 2011 10:50 PM

    I think there is no direct way to determine what tablespace is utilized by a patch from the README file. You could check the content of the patch file and see what modules are affected (assuming there are changes and the database level), then query DBA_USERS (DEFAULT_TABLESPACE column) for those schemas which are updated by a patch. Or, you could check the size of the tablespaces before and after applying the patch and you will determine what tablespaces have been utilized (provided that the application services are down, and none of the application users is connected to the application).

  • How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

    Hi,
    I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:

    How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
    Thanks,

    Ashok,
    Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
    OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
    OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

  • New to Fios - So confused how to find anything on!!! - Need help with search

    Been with Comcast for years and years and just switched to Fios.  With all the channels and various buttons on the remote I'm overwhelmed with trying to figure out what's actually on.
    I understand how to use the search feature to find a show or theme, but what I can't figure out is how do you see a list of results for just programs that are currently on?? 
    It seems the search results are listed in order of channel name and there is nothing on the list that I see that shows which ones are currently on.  I find myself going thru the list, constantly pushing the right arrow key on the remote just to then find out the show is on later in the day or another day.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Vince

    The best way to see what's on now is simply to press Up on the remote to bring up the half-screen guide, then use the Ch + and - buttons to quickly scan through it.
    Not the solution you wanted. Perhaps you should suggest it in the Ideas forum.

  • How to find and export all Scheduled Tasks in Domain with multiple servers.

    Hi everyone,
    I have been given a task of finding all of Scheduled Tasks in the Domain on all of the servers. So far I have manage to create a script that will pull out all Scheduled Tasks from one Server, in this case Domain Controller. 
    Butt in my company are more than 150 servers so I am looking for a script that can connect to AD (or LDAP), than to certain OUs, then pull out Server list and than query them for Schedule Task. I have found already some scripts online and tried to adjust
    them butt they simply didnt work.
    I am new in the company and still learning about the system,  this is my first real task so any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Just a tip that I found after running across this myself - if you run a
    Get-AdComputer -filter {operatingsystem -like '*server*'} | ft name | out-file servers.txt
    and then save the output to a text file, it may look good, but there may be white space at the end of the computer names. Make sure that only the computernames are in the file and then the script works great.
    http://absoblogginlutely.net
    This would happen because you are trying to get around the format of the output.  When you want the raw value do it this way;  it is faster and easier:
    Get-AdComputer -filter {operatingsystem -like '*server*'} |
         %{$_.Name } | out-file servers.txt
    Now there can never be any extra spaces and there will be no header to cause problems. 
    This is why it pays to spend time studying the details of how PowerShell works instead of just sticking things together until you get a result.  PowerShell is designed to do all of these things without fudging or guesswork but it requires that you actually
    learn how it works.  I highly recommend stating with a good technical book on PowerShell.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • How to find out if my add-ons are compatible with new firefox version before i install?

    Is there a way to discover whether any of my current add-ons will be disabled/incompatible *Before* I upgrade to a newer version of Firefox?
    Whenever I've updated Firefox, I haven't found out until After the new version is installed that my favorite 'must-have' add-on is incompatible and there is no viable/satisfactory alternative to it. The loss of Certain add-ons is, for me, a deal-breaker to upgrading. And it's a royal pain to downgrade to the previous version to retrieve my add-on.
    I don't know if addiction to particular add-on(s) is common - I figure I can't be the only one . . . ?
    It would be So helpful if there were a database or list that shows which add-ons are/are not compatible with which versions of Firefox. Is there such a thing? If not, could one be created?
    Thanks for your help!

    Firefox 9.0.1 is a real old version and is no longer supported - Firefox 24.0 is the current release version.
    Open the Add-0ns manager tab and click on '''More''' for each extension that you have installed. Near the bottom of each "More" there should be a link that will take you to the download page where you can verify compatibility.
    Or use this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/ - but I'm not sure how well it will work when you are so many versions 'behind the curve'.
