See mxj buf.op.

With max you'll get the maximum sample, there are also methods to change the gain.

I tried with (~) and without but i get an error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: buf/op (wrong name: buf/Op) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassCond(ClassLoader.java:631) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:615) at com.cycling74.max.MXJClassLoaderImpl.doLoadClass(MXJClassLoaderImpl.java:119) at com.cycling74.max.MXJClassLoader.loadClazz(MXJClassLoader.java:88) Could not load class 'buf.op'

When you say " you'll get the maximum sample" you mean the sample loaded gets Normalised to the maximum?

ive tried to load buf.op in 6.1 some time ago ,and i could not do it for some reason . it was strange becasue absence of support for mxj wasnt listed inside release notes . just the ~mxj .

Ooopps, I meant mxj buf.Op!

Thanks Patrick, i found the helpfile but honestly its quite hard for me to understand. The gain portion i get but not the "max $1" message. How would i go about using that|? Would i have to take n2 output (393 0.XXXXX) then split it and use the second number and write an [if/then] function of some sort? Could someone help me out a bit here? :/

In the "max $1" message, the $1 is a placeholder for a variable. The message "max 1" will give you the maximum amplitude for channel 1 of the bufffer in question. You then query the buf.Op, and use the result to set your volume reduction. See attached....

Thanks mattyo, I managed to come up with my own

cool. A couple of notes for you:

Nice one, thank you! All noted. Previously i thought of combining the normalize and gain, but never put it together.....Not sure why... Thanks again!
