You might try strip silence (Ctrl+U , Cmd+U) on the bounced track , since you are probably not looking for the highest peak, but for anything above -96dB.

You can do everything you are asking in Pro Tools... it is a very versitile program.

Pro Tools does not COME WITH a spectrul, rms or peak plugin to tell you the peaks but thats why you can ADD a plugin that does that... like the Dolby Meter 2 or the Waves WLM (just google search them) will analyze the audio tracks and give you a spreadsheet like list of peaks...

It would be easy to just bounce the 2 recordings to a new track and you can see the waveform of both files bounced, although that is a very strange way to fix digital errors to each their own

You can always select the clip, open up the audiosuite "gain" function and just run an quick analyze; it won't tell you *where* but it will tell you the level of the highest peak. TL Master Meter used to have a history function, but it never went AAX, and frankly I never used it - I'm sure there's some other analyses programs that would do this in Pro Tools (waves WLM will do an audiosuite peak analysis) - Blue Cat prob'ly has something, as does Nugen.

You might take a look at Audiofile Engineering's Triumph, which may be better suited to this particular task, though personally I think you could come up with a decent workflow in ProTools for this; just might take a bit of getting used to.
