depends on the actual backend and how you are using it.
e.g. some backends only support values that cannot possibly exceed

No beatboxer uses a pop filter or windscreen... unless he/she is at a
recording studio.

I started this thread because I saw the high peaks in an array... but I
never listened the sound distorted.

hey,
if CPU is a matter, you could try to use an external analog (or digital)
compressor (and an eq) between your mic and your soudcard.
The table display in Pd is linear while sound intensity feeling is
logarithmic, so it's not surprising to have such peaks.
When you try to write value 1 to
Hi Mario,
Did you try [zexy/limiter~]? It's not so CPU-intensive. Isn't that what you
want: only attenuate the sounds which exceed a limit, and leave the rest
untouched?

Now, I am checking volumes of my looper patch. I had to raise [*~ 4] the
volume of the mic, to get a razonable volume, compared to a song file,
for example. But, using this looper patch, I make beatbox. So, kicks and
snares from my mouth get in the mic. And, using a visual array to test
it, I
I forgot to say that I'm using a Shure SM-58 connected to a external USB
(cheap) soundcard (http://www.encore-usa.com/ar/support/ENMAB-8CM). In
alsamixer, I raised the input volumes to max.
This directly connected to the soundcard microphone will be connected
throw a wireless Shure system.

if the kick is not compressing properly, then one idea might be to lowpass
filter the signal that goes to the compressor's detection stage. that way,
you'd filter out a lot of the energy from the hats, snares, etc.

Moving further away from the mic would definitely lower the volume, too
