Not sure why, but using this simple object to scale a signal by dBs also adds a strange aliasing-like sound to it. What am I missing here? Using Max 8.3.1 + jasch 0.8.3 (most current).

Because I need dBs on both ends. I could convert, but would rather use dB*~ if I can. It would be very useful elsewhere, too.

hard to imagine that there is really a bug in the jasch object. 

but it can be a good strategy anyway to create custom abstractions for such simple all day applications instead of using third party objects, because with third party objects you never know what happens inside and how long it will be supported.

[*~] with [dbtoa~], controlled by [line] and [rampsmooth~] might use 2 times the CPU, but then you see what it does - and when you need a variation of it tomorrow you can just change it.

Can you reproduce the artifacting I’m experiencing?

FWIW, Jan (jasch) said he could reproduce this problem, but that he didn't know when/if he would get to fixing it.
