Re: [sc-users] End to end amplitude control and system headroom?

Agreed--one really simple approach to see if it isn't just an issue
with the sample you're using.  After b = Buffer...(whatever) do
b.normalize.  This should at least normalize your sample, which will
give you some kind of uniform base point to start from when you're
comparing one sample to another.
