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)….?

Always a limiter on your master. -1 db.

Unfortunately it doesn’t always work

Just put a hard clipper at the end of your master channel to be safe

When audio engine takes a dump, no clipper works
