That's exactly how the big analog consoles do it.
well, that changes things :)
Or maybe there is a
decay, but a much quicker one, whereas for the peak there is a even a
short hold time.
sorry, "a even a short hold time"?
You can't have proper peak detection using [env~]. It will always
calculate an rms value.
Sure, hence it's a variation, which takes into account the peak, not RMS.
My idea was in fact to propose this as a second output for [env~]
but anyway, seems [slop~] is doing the trick now and that what I thought was bad was actually how things work, so all I can say is that we could make a better/proper example on how to feed both RMS and peak into [vu]
