Andy, [samphold] as well as [snapshot~] do give you the amplitude value
of one single sample, which for audio signals is often in the range
between -1 and 1. [env~] will give you an dBRMS value (the mean of all
absolute amplitudes over a certain time window, converted to dB.

Was that your question?

I'rather be interested in the difference between [samphold~] and
[snapshot~]. They seem to almost do the same thing to me.
