My pd's a bit rusty, so bear with me. I tried searching, but the results didn't help much.

I want to monitor numbers coming off the audio input. How can I go about getting some kind of volume reading from the [adc~]?

ie I want to have the input levels from my [adc~] open a spigot if they exceed a certain value.

Thanks!

[env~] outputs numbers then a simple [> 60] (60 being your threshold) into [spigot]

Keep in mind, though, that [env~] will give you rms levels, if that's what you're looking for. If you want the actual samples, you can use [snapshot~] and a [metro] (though you'll still be limited by the speed of the [metro]).

good point. Maelstorm, do you know EVERYTHING?

Everything? I don't think so...is that a band or something? ;-p

I've recently found that I can better understand something once I try to explain it. So if I seem like a know-it-all lately, that's why. But, yeah, thanks for the complement. Much of what I know has come from thoughtful contributors to this forum such as yourself, so thanks for that as well.
