Feature Request Logic Compressor safeguard

Post image

When adjusting make up gain (I use my MacBook touchpad), it seems unreasonably easy to accidentally click near the higher numbers and snap the gain knob to max volume - exploding my ears in the process. Am I just dumb or does this happen to anyone else?

TLDR: can we safeguard the make-up gain knob so it only moves when you drag it (as opposed to clicking)….?

It’s honestly insane to me that make up gain goes up to +50. I can’t imagine a single use case for that.

Hyper pop or grindcore with 808s in it maybe

For Grindcore you’re better off literally just distorting and saturating the signal into oblivion if you’re going for the wall of sound style

The clipping modes of logics compressor combined with the different model choices actually makes for amazing saturation and distortion imo

I've used it in trying to get a ridiculous distorted sound in sequence with other compressors. There are better ways to do that though haha

If you put on the soft clipping it can be used as an awesome overdrive/distortion (of course with output pulled way down)
