Global analysis > Peaks > Just overs?

Hi is there any way to just see overs instead of hotpoints when running global analysis. The reason I ask is because I like to automate TP limiting before downsampling and if I click “create markers at hotpoints” it creates markers at all hot points not just the overs and then I have to sort back through it. Would be great if it would just display overs for Digital Peak and True Peak.

Any thoughts?

Right now my solution is to scrub through and manually copy timestamps to mark in my montage.

This is not possible and I must say this would be a good idea. However, this is already possible using the visual analysis tool.

Hey PG definitely a workaround but can the analysis create markers that you can hotkey through?

The issue with analysis is that I am usually working in the editor on a downsampled version of the track so I need to get markers to sync between there and my working montage. If you can create markers from loudness profile then I could create them and copy them over to the other montage. Or is there a better way to see overs on a downsampled version and then mark them for processing on the higher sample rate montage?

Are you aware that when you do resampling, the peaks are changed by this process? This means that your downsampled copy cannot reflect exactly what happens in your upsampling copy. Maybe you know that and you want to do that anyway?

Hey PG - Yep. That is why I mark the peaks from the downsampled version and adjust my limiter settings in the original version before rendering again. Just curious if there is a faster way to do it rather than manual scrubbing and adding markers. The analysis loudness profile cannot create markers correct?

There is no direct way to achieve what you are looking for. Either you use a global analysis tool and retain manually the peaks you want. Or you use the visual analysis tool and create the markers manually.
Then using the copy markers function of WaveLab is the way to go, as the copy/marker function takes care of the sample rate differences.

I will see if something can be achieved in the next WaveLab version, to handle your case.

Thank you!
