Overview

Computes the maximum absolute value of all input channels on a sample-by-sample basis

Discussion

The MaxAbs module computes the maximum absolute value of all input channels on a per-sample basis. This module is often used as part of dynamics processors, where the mono output of the MaxAbs module is used as the input to the LimiterCore or AutoAttackRelease module.
