trying to use minim to trigger animation when input sound level exeeds a certain height

berona

I've just started a short class for processing, have a simple script for an array of ellipses moving around the screen what I want is for the ellipses to flash when sound exceeds a certain height and to go back to white when input comes below this level. so far Ive not been able to stitch together what I've grasped. please help. Its already 7am and after hours of tutorials I'm no further. Should an if statement go in, or should I be using true/false to switch on or off this reaction

all advice welcome
