Description
Ear Protection is a simple but essential safety tool for anyone working in Ableton Live. It is surprisingly easy to get lost in creating music and overlook sudden spikes, unexpected plugin behavior or runaway feedback. Those moments can be more than just unpleasant, they can put your headphones, speakers and most importantly your ears at real risk.
This device continuously monitors the incoming audio signal on both channels. If it detects a sudden burst above your chosen threshold, it instantly mutes the output to prevent harm. Once you have identified and fixed the cause of the spike, just press the Reset button to resume normal playback.
Place Ear Protection at the end of your master chain and enjoy peace of mind while you experiment, explore and push your sound design to new places. Protect your gear, protect your hearing, with peace of mind.
