hey, 

if CPU is a matter, you could try to use an external analog (or digital) compressor (and an eq) between your mic and your soudcard.

The table display in Pd is linear while sound intensity feeling is logarithmic, so it's not surprising to have such peaks.
When you try to write value > 1 to disk or to output it, it's clipped to 1.

How does Pd or the soundcard outputs the signal > 1? Does it compress it?

I started this thread because I saw the high peaks in an array... but I never listened the sound distorted.
