Regarding your question about the eliminated feature, I read it in this thread from user PhantomTollbooth :
Hey all. I used to use audacity years ago and i seem to remember a feature that would jump to and select the tallest peak in a file. This was very useful for finding stray peaks that were preventing me from amplifying the overall mix without setting off the clip detection. Is this feature still in the program? I can’t seem to remember how to find it. Thanks, Scott
