Is it possible to replicate vegasaur's silence detection script ?

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding Vegas Pro 17, particularly regarding an extension called Vegasaur. My question is as follows: Is there a way to access the scripts and programs used by Vegasaur independently, without needing to install the extension, and most importantly, without having to spend the $100 it costs? In my local currency, this amount is quite high, so I'm looking for alternatives to access Vegasaur's features for free, such as silence detection, marker placement, and segment deletion, similar to what the extension offers. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

@jetdv @andy-0 JetDV may have a script for removing silent parts of audio.

That works reasonably well, problem I am noticing is that it cuts before a person has finished speaking like on the last syllable . Maybe that value can be adjusted within the script to increase the delay

@Todd-A0 @andy-0 There are some parameters near the beginning of the script you can adjust, I noticed. You'll have to experiment with the variables or watch the tutorials to know what they do.


        double QuietLimit = -40.0;
        Timecode logOffset = Timecode.FromFrames(10);
        Timecode minLength = Timecode.FromSeconds(1.500);

@Phil_P I got a notification about a message from you in this post but I don't see the question.

Hi there, I removed it as it was not relevant. I looked in detail at the tutorial to see why mp3 was being used, as I initially mistakenly thought that the files were being rendered as mp3, (I didn't realise that this was just to get the loudness info).

Now that you are here, please allow me to say thank you, great script, and very ingenious.

Yes, it was just to get the text file. Then the script deleted the mp3 file. Any format could have been used.
