[PD] peaks and bringing them down to be more in line with the overall average of the signal

[i go bananas]

looks like your average peak is around 0.05 or something?

simplest way would be to use [clip~ -0.05 0.05]

if you want to do a smoother way, then [*~ 20] (or whatever value is
appropriate to scale -1 to 1) , and then [expr~ tanh] or [tanh~]
