# GetShapeFiltVolMixBufferPeakMagnitude

# GetShapeFiltVolMixBufferPeakMagnitude

Gets the peak magnitude of the output mix buffer.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
float GetShapeFiltVolMixBufferPeakMagnitude(  
         const SHAPE_FILTVOL_CONTEXT* context  
)  
```

### Parameters

*context*   \_In\_\
Type: [SHAPE\_FILTVOL\_CONTEXT](/reference/audio/shapefiltvolcontext/structs/shape_filtvol_context)\*

Pointer to a [SHAPE\_FILTVOL\_CONTEXT](/reference/audio/shapefiltvolcontext/structs/shape_filtvol_context) object.

### Return value

Type: float

The peak magnitude.

## Remarks

In addition to monitoring the peak magnitude of each individual hardware block, the peak magnitude of the mix buffers is also maintained. When the output of a hardware block is added to a mix buffer, the peak magnitude is calculated in the same manner: by counting the leading zeros. Each hardware block state maintains an additional pair of four-bit peak-magnitude values. These values represent the peak magnitude of the mix buffer after the output of the hardware block has been accumulated into the mix buffer. One four-bit number represents the ongoing, persistent peak magnitude; the other is updated for every audio frame. The peak-magnitude values are saved in the context of the Scalable Hardware Audio Processing Engine (SHAPE) blocks, even though what's being represented is the mix buffer state.
