Hey, if I want to build a module that brings up external audio to +/-5v
levels for use in my M0D00LAR, is this all I need?

                                    |
                                    \
                                    /
                                    \  100k
                                    /
                                    |
                                    |
                                   GND


I stole this from the input of an envelope follower (with modifications).
Is that too much gain (x33)? I think regular audio is like +/-0.5v, which
would need a gain of 10, but that's if the input is optimal. SO I figure a
little xtra is ok, but I don't know how much more.

Or should I just use the non-inverting input?

Are there any other 'convenience' factors I'm missing in this module? It
should be a pretty simple thing, unless I'm way off.
