Can Max msp read / show current decibel volume?
Hello guys, im totally new to max msp and i'm confused with the things i found so far about decibel. So my question is: Is it possible to have MAX msp calculate / show the Decibel of current sound that is playing on your pc? Like if i play a song can it give a visual perpresentation of how hard it is? I need these decibel values to let things happen from certain levels.
My suggestion would be that you type "decibel output" into the window at the upper-right hand side of your patcher window and look at what results.
Another approach might be to add a live.gain~ object to your patch, open the object's helpfile, and look at the tabs to see if you find anything related to deciBels.
