How do you prevent ear/speaker damage from accidental level spikes?

Yeah. Keep the volume down, especially when experimenting with audio.

I guess it might depend on what you're doing, but when just working with VST's and audio in the DAW, this seems obvious. I set the volume so that 0dB on the master is still at a comfortable listening volume. So if I accidentally load an unusually loud preset or something, the worst that will happen is it will clip and sound distorted, but it won't break my speakers or ears.

Thanks buddy. It's always good to get some feedback and maybe even praise. Makes it all worthwhile.
