Kassen...I had to install the latest version 1.2.1.1 to find that tracking example.

The example should be in 1.2.1.0 already, I think.
1.2.1.1 wasn't announced that loudly, it's mainly a small update to correct some rather odd behaviour in Envelope.

I'd say that upgrading can't hurt, except that this is ChucK and there is every chance that it *can* hurt :Ź), for one thing I wrote a fix for the Envelope and I don't even speak C++.....

I never realised when that came up! Your various points are very insightful,
but obviously I tried the simplest looking option - the last. I just had to add a line to
make it work:

<<< Tracking.the_freq >>>;

I am presuming this would be the frequency in Hertz?

Yeah, I thinks so, it seems to be used that way (I'm still very new to the FFT game).

The mic seems quite sensitive, I get a
reading of around 64.6 from the ambient noise, mostly traffic from the nearby road. Hmm....

Yes, that's likely caused by the room/mic/amp/ADC combination having a higher noise floor then your least significant bit. That's entirely normal, I don't think I've ever seen a system where that wasn't the case.

What you can do is disregard peaks that are below a certain minimum amplitude or you could make the whole analysis thing stop running (and save cpu) as long as the signal is below a certain amplitude.... or you can set up a noise gate, doesn't Dyno have a expander option?

Yesterday afternoon I was just sitting at my new office/studio, and in my head battling
out Chuck versus PD, both of which I know very little. I was wondering which one to
invest time with to get fast results for my current experiment. Then from the balcony
sauntered in the sound of three kids playing cricket....the fat kid was scolding one
of the skinny boys.....

"You're chucking!"
"No chucking!"
"That was a Chuck!"

For a moment, I thought it was an Omen.

(PS: In cricket, "chucking" is when you do not complete the circular follow-through
action while bowling, or bend your elbow weirdly. Its a form of cheating.)

Beautiful!!!
