I'm trying to do some recording in a pd patch and I need a way to monitor input levels.
As I am sure all of you on the forum have found out by now I am a noob and I'm kinda learning as I go here, so my question is VERY basic 
I assume I need vu meter to monitor input levels. The help file for vu is a bit confusing (there is some weird subpatch that throws random numbers at the vu, honestly don't really know what that demonstrates) ...ok, sorry for the rant, I know people donate tons of time to documentation. I just need a slightly different example to get what is going on.
Does anyone have a patch that shows how to meter audio signal on the input or output?
thnx in advance for any suggestions.
