not the best idea :)

Put the volume low always, and be extremely careful.

OR: compressor? peak limiter? (after the headphones...) Because if you are suggesting "to be code careful" that might mess up all the fun.

Best,

I've managed to hurt my ears twice over the past two days when using PD w/ headphones. Even at lowest system volumes, it seems that Terrible Things can happen. Are there any precautions that I can take to make it feel less like I'm taking my life into my hands when I have to use headphones?
