Auto Threshold Detector

[D.Williams23]

How can I create an auto threshold detector for the Compressor?

[Lindon]

@D-Williams23 start by looking at:

Engine.getDecibelsForGainFactor()

[D.Williams23]

@Lindon Okay I looked at it. I've never used this function before so I don't even know where to begin.

What will you do with Auto Treshold detector? Dynamic Eq?

so for a number of modules (including simple gain modules) you can obtain the current audio level for the left and right channels:

leftLevel = Engine.getDecibelsForGainFactor(MasterGain.getCurrentLevel(0));

so your script would (at this point) know the current level - you just need to place this inside a timer callback to get a realtime-ish level value in your script.
