atodb~

Convert linear amplitude to a signal-rate deciBel value

Description

atodb~ takes any given signal representing a linear amplitude value and outputs a signal which is a deciBel conversion of the input.

Arguments

None.

Messages

signal A signal representing a linear amplitude value. It is converted to a gain/attenuation, expressed in deciBels, and output as a signal.

Output

signal: The gain or attenuation from unity gain, expressed in deciBels, is output as a signal.

Examples

Old-fashioned no-nonsense numerical conversion
