an implicit version of: [noise~] | [*~ 999999] | [clip~ -1 1] | [dac~] ? Doesn't the signal generated by either of these create the greatest perceived volume-- something approaching a bunch of square waves at maximum amplitude at every frequency? If so you couldn't one just make sure that this output doesn't hurt one's ears with the headphones on? -Jonathan To: Stephen Lavelle <[email protected]> >Cc: [email protected] >Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2011 3:46 PM >Subject: Re: [PD] making puredata headphone-safe > > >That's the danger of low level manipulation :D > > >[adc~] >| >[* 1000] >| >[dac~] > > >not the best idea :) > > >Put the volume low always, and be extremely careful. >OR: compressor? peak limiter?
