Did you try [prvu~]?

Hi

I'm trying to have vu show something useful, but with partial success. I have this:

| [snapshot~] | [posetive] | [rmstodb] | [- 100] | [s $to_vu]

[posetive] is a simple abstraction that... makes negative values posetive (1->1, -1->1, 0->0, etc).

you mean like the absolute value? like [abs]?

This kinda works, but at lower levels, and esp with only high frequency content the meter falls all the way to the bottom. What would make a better meter?

hmm, a single sample is not really representative for the signal, is it? imagine you have a signal: 0 0.33 0.66 1 0 0.33 0.66 1 ..... which will have "0" each and every sample that is dividable by 4 without a remainder; since you bang the [snapshot~] only at block-boundaries, your vu will always display 0 (-inf) if the signal is offset by -1 sample, your vu will always display 1 (unity gain; full-scale)

so i don't fully understand your why you don't want to use [env~]?

[env~] | [- 100] | [vu]
