I'm trying to create a patch that will take all the parts of an audio file that are below a certain threshold and then put them into a continous stream i.e taking all the talking out of a radio broadcast so that all that is left is a continous stream of ambient noises.
I've been trying to use threshold to spot sections of an audio file that are below a certain level and then trying to stitch them together but I just get a lot of clickyness and not much else.
I think part of the problem might be that I don't fully understand the arguments passed to threshold~ (i.e [set 0 100 1 100<) but it might also be that I am trying to do this in a really foolish way.
any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

you could try it with [env~] ?

You're probably getting chattering because threshold~ (or env~) will potentially switch at every zero crossing point. The side chain you use to control your gate should be low pass filtered first.

like:

signal in
| |
| [lop~ 3]
| |
| [env~ 8]
| |
| [< 10]
| |
| [$1 10(
| |
| [line~]
| |
\ /
[*~ ]

or something
