Count selected audio events

Cubase
1

Hi! I have found a way to count the selected audio events using the Direct Offline Processing window, but if I have 200 events totalling about 4 minutes, it takes awhile until I get a count number shown…

Any suggestions how I might achieve this more easily?

P.S. 1__ I’m trying to collect evidence that my upstairs neighbours are knocking the floor (or play ball inside their apartment) after 10:00 P.M. It feels like I’m sleeping inside a kick drum at a Rock concert. Seriously. Last night, between 10:28 and 00:00, I got the biggest number of knocks (over 200). Please help! I’ve isolated the knocks 10dBs over ambient noise (using the Frequency 2 plug-in and the Detect Silence function). I even got +24dB noises. I’m going mad.

P.S. 2__ By the way, Steinberg, great job with Cubase 12. It uses significantly less CPU resources than previous versions. In Cubase 10.5, for example, my 2012 Macbook is so slow I wanna shoot myself (when processing >1h long audio).

P.S. 3__ Workaround:
The Pool window contains a column where one can see how many times a certain file is used in the project. It’s been helpful so far…

Interesting post.
Have you tried talking to your neighbor?

No and I will not. The microphone picked up one of the neighbours’ kids saying to the mother: “Well, we are the bosses in this house, so we can do whatever we want [here]”. This was said after I purpousely knocked on the radiator pipe (to let them know—in Romania, at least, it’s what you do when neighbours are loud at inappropriate hours). So they clearly know their neighbours are disturbed by “the whatever” they are doing in their own house. This was about 2 weeks ago. After that I stopped “talking to them” (through the radiator pipe) and started recording every night with my Zoom h1n and h5 digital recorders.
