Tweaking the strobe light effect

Hey guys I stumbled on this community and it looks like a creative paradise! Hopefully I can grow with this site as well as help others when I can.

Anyways I am making a title card with my logo on it and am trying to match it to some music and I am having a hard time getting the strobe light effect to get going fast enough to make it look like I am running it with the music.

The start of the composition is fine but the crescendo of the music (Pretty Lights song) gets going fast before a new bass drop and I want to get my logo to flash quicker, and at the very least I would like to get it to look like an old school light bulb that lights kind of slow and then flickers very fast as it gets full power.

Like I said I can get it to work for the most part but getting the very fast flicker is causing me problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am excited to learn and grow in my projects. I am looking to continue to get better and deliver great videos.

I have looked at the link in fact that was the first that I looked at, however I am unsure on how to get the exact results that I need. I read somewhere that this is based on seconds versus frames, which I would prefer.

Either way do you know of a place where I can learn more about the expressions and adding them to the compositions. I am fairly new to AE and understand that the expressions can be added for desired effects but I am unsure on the variables and syntax that I should use.

Thanks for the help so far I really appreciate it.

For your above recommendation are you saying that I should add an expression such as

time/2?
strobe/2?

What/2?

Sorry to keep bothering you over something probably so simple but I want to make sure that I learn this and get it right. I looked at the link that you gave me and that was very helpful but now I am stuck again.

Here is my waveform that I converted my audio into:



Looking at this I really can't create a threshold to write an expression around so I pose this question:

How would I write an expression that would change the color one layer to white only on the peaks of the audio? Basically ( and I know this isn't java)

if(the waveform peaks, flash contents of layer white, do nothing)

I was looking at another effect, change to color, would that work if I just set it to each key frame that the audio peaked manually.

Thanks for the help and again I am sorry for asking so many questions about something that seem so simple. I really want to expand my knowledge here not just pump out crappy videos.
