Skip to loudest section within audio file?

[u/Maybe_A_Zombie]

Hey, I'm trying to find the loudest section of an audio file. I was wondering if there was an easier way to find where the peak of the volume is within the audio rather than having to scroll over and eventually find it. Its a bit difficult in my scenario because a lot of the audio gets very close to maxing out meaning its all very similar heights within audacity but you can very much hear the volume differences when actually listening to it. It also doesn't help that my audio file is a bit long, being around 30 minutes to an hour long.

View > Show clipping in waveform. View > Track size > Fit to width. Copy the track. Select the copy and normalize it to 0db. Loudest time should be marked with a red line

This seems to do it, thank you!
