hi peter
thanks for your suggestion .
But, my question is: do you really want to do these calculations in pd?
not necessary but as pd is my only audio tool ... ... yes
I'm sure, there are some more appropriate solutions.
yes
E.g. in Matlab (you can use Octave, as well), my solution is:
x=wavread('filename'); y=x./max(max(abs(x))); % find the max. peak in any channel wavwrite(y, FS, 'newfilename'); % FS=sampling rate
this code looks nice .
I'm still curious about 'normalizing max amplitude inf to 1'.
eni
should I just look for a sample editor ... ... no I like my pd-stuff to be pure (sick?)
