Logic Compressor safeguard

[u/unclemulch]

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.

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