a soft clipper is like clip~ but with rounded 'edges' : with clip you cut clean everything that over 1 and below -1 (for instance) with a soft clipper when you reach those maximums softly with a little interpolation. It's like a limiter with a knee.

Aah now we are talking! Limiter I know!

BTW did you try with headphones on and do you have the same issue with headphones ?

I tried with headphones and I think it was not the same, so it is something with the output to the speaker....

I also made normalization on the wavs in my soundeditor and removed the -normalize in pd patch. Now the sound is a bit higher in volume, I dont need to put the output on phone more than ca 50% to hear it clear.....we are making progress!

@Berenger ?? Where can I find newbie information about tanh~??
What does it do?
I visited github link, but I am to green to understand that information.

@whale-av Thanks for the tip's!

I am not using AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS_TRANSIENT_CAN_DUCK, not what I know.
Should I? ....woav, found a lot info about it on Google, need to read, will be back.

The -normalize switch is set, but I dont know if it did any change, hard to tell.

Hi Berenger!

I am using my "own" code...from Peter Brinkmanns book "Making Musical Apps".

Hmmm intresting! -normalize have I not used yet. Will check it out.

Soft clipping abstraction - I am aware of soft clipping, but what is soft clipping abstraction??

tanh~ - is this part of "standard" puredata (not extended)?
My editor couldnt find it.....

Very interesting input! Thank you Berenger!

Hi LiamG!

Thanks for your response. The patch IS working in PureData-editor
and on my mobile thru libpd, However on my mobile I get some
unwanted behavior of the sound (see earlier posts). Correct me if
I am wrong, but if I get sound from patch/libpd the dsp must be
turned on? Or?

Yes, maybe I will make it a paid app, but I realy need to get the sound
good (and a lot of other things). Right now I building it for my self, I'm
my own beta-tester

Same behavior with another unit....

However, I changed the wav files that was loaded in patch into mono instead of stereo and it seemed to make a change!

But, Im maybe getting crazy after listening on the sounds, I imagine I hear a straight attack on the sounds some time and another time there is a "longer" attack.

/Thomas

Ok, I tried tabplay instead of tabread, no change, same behavior
Tried to have only one channel out to dac, no change, same behavior

....dont know what to look for now. I think I try another phone/tablet.

Hmmm......another strange thing is that the sound is not loud, if I set the
phone to 50% the phone signal is loud and clear, but my app is barely
heard

Oooh, tabplay.....never used before, better look up the help in puredata editor.
Everything making it less cpu hungry is a good thing

I will try to send only to one channel on dac, and see if it does a change.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thomas

Ok here we go!

Any other comments on improvements is welcome also!

Hi there!
I am working on a metronome for Android. When I run the patch in PureData-editor all works fine, sound is even. But when I run the patch thru libpd on phone the sound is not even, the volume is some periods a bit weaker than other, let say 3-4 beats the sound is strong and even, then the sound gets weaker for 3-4 beats.....and then it all repeats.

Any thoughts that could help is welcome.
