What I'm doing wrong (Multiply & AnalyzePeak)

[commi]

I'm having a code in which multiply is not working. So I made a supper simple example and tested it, but this one is also not working as I expect it.
I run this code and get no output.

Why does the two peak detect does not show any input?
If I remove the "if (peak_in.available())" I get a constat "1" in/out reading.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong in the code.

You've set the dc1 amplitude to zero, so printing the dc1 peak will be zero and multiplying zero by anything will give you zero out from the multiplication too. At least, that's what I get when I run your code.
Try setting dc1 amplitude to 0.5 and then it will print:

in=0.50 out=0.25

Also … AudioAnalyzePeak is yet another example of an object which behaves incorrectly when fed NULL block pointers. The documentation clearly says to treat these as silent audio, so it should return true from a call toavailable() if an update has occurred, and 0.0 as the amplitude. But it doesn’t, it just tells you there’s no new peak value available.

Thanks all!

The strange thing is that today I re-run my test code and I did get a streem of "0" as the output, but for some stangre reason yestorday I got nothing out... maybe the laptop lost connection with the serial monitor...

Now I will try to find what's wrong with my larger code.
