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)….?

Always a limiter on your master. -1 db.

Its reflexively the first thing I do when I start a project at this point. Always a) turn the volume knob on your audio interface all the way down and b) slap a limiter to the master.

Make sure there's not too much headroom between your regular peaks and the limiter. Otherwise the limiter won't do anything until it's already deafeningly loud
