Depending on the file you're working with, sometimes dragging the Threshold percentage up or down will yield the desired results, or something very close. If you get a start point you're happy with there, you can always "Replace" the region with the stripped regions, delete the regions after the first one, and drag the end of the first region out to the end of the song again. Not quite as easy as that other DAW, but effective nonetheless. Sonny Keyes SKa Music Toronto www.skamusic.ca
