<![CDATA[[ANSWERED] Sound Level Watcher with built-in release time]]>When fooling around with the new Grapher plugin I discovered that the Sound Level Watcher has a built-in release time of half a second or so. Just want to know if this is on purpose.

I think this is probably the same, since the sound drops near instantly. 

Change the sound watcher outputs to graphic mode and increase the size (drag them wide). Then test how the actors outputs display the data, I expect it's very quick. Shouldn't have any added decay.

No big deal - I'm just curious.

 Not quite sure what you mean. Could you post a gif and a bit more explanation? https://www.screentogif.com/
