hello
im sorry i left the thread for some time now. thank you all very much for your replies.
Your results are confirmed here too: the two methods with vsnapshot~ and writing-reading to a table are equally inefficient. Matt's suggestion --whilst much more efficient-- has a serious disadvantage: it seems that there is no way of reseting [max~ ] without losing some samples (which could include a "peak"). Generally, i had many confusing problems while testing that one. Has anyone else tried it??
I give up for now due to the lack of time if anyone has another idea, please share! :-)
(By the way: there is another limitation i noticed in [bang~ ]: it won't go faster than 1 bang every 64 samples, even if the block size is set under that)
thanks again
