thnx mario i did but could not wrap my mind around having to deal with an attack and release then vs a window wherein a rms value is taken on the sig to rms stereo. i do know how to get only the highest from l/r in and out and then end up with the difference as a number (in peak db or rms db) i just cant take it from there i think the hickup is that i want my meters in peak and i must measure in rms as it should dont get me wrong
but ive spend way to much time getting more frustrated i just take a break from this for now and scap the feature for first version
