i want to b able to control the amaunt of incoming audio from [adc~] and see it in a volume meter

[adc~]
| __ |____[open ut.wav]
| / |
|/ |
[writesf~ 2]

trying to make someting similer to "xp al sound recorder"
it basicly works but the volume get too loud

It's as easy as this (mono example). Create a slider and right-click it to set its min value to 0 and maxvalue to 1. Then do this:

[adc~]
|
| [yourSlider]
| /
| /
[*~]
|
[writesf~]

What you also could to is do soft-clipping by putting [tanh~] before the [writesf~]. This will ensure that samplevalues always stay between -1 and 1 and no clipping occurs.

[adc~]
|
[tanh~]
|
[writesf~]

Hope this helps,

D.

make sure to put a [sig~] object between the slider's output and [*~]'s input...otherwise you'll get some nasty clipping when you control the volume.

If you want a smoother volume control, you can do this:

(slider from 0 to 1)
|
|
[expr $f1 * $f1 * $f1]
(sample) |
\ |
\ [sig~]
\ |
[*~]

oki it dosnt seem to be working:/

domin i tryde ur 2 exempels in in the frist the slider dosent seem to make any changes to the recorded sound, and with the other example [tanh~] noting seems to happen:/
