[PD] vu-meter question

[Peter O'Doherty]

Thanks for your reply.

I was expecting [vu] simply to show some levels.

How would I slot [vu] into a very basis chain like the following  
which would allow me to keep an eye on levels, or am I missing the  
point of [vu]? (Perhaps these's a better way to do it.)

[number box]
|
[osc~]
|
[*~  0] ----- [number box]

|
[dac~]

Thanks,
Peter
