I'm usually pretty fastidious, as I have guitar amps in here that could cause some serious upset if unleashed at full chat. I'm usually careful with the stereo too but I have been caught out a few times lately. This was a doozy. So relieved I seem to have dodged a disaster again. I was properly grumpy for a bit there!
Couple of contributing factors are that the marker dot on my amp's volume knob is tiny, not lit up and hard to see. Ditto the Apogee Duet 2, which is what I use to run audio in and out of my mac to the amp, only displays a level as you're adjusting a setting. Then it just goes back to a generic VU meter... which will be blank if there’s no signal in.
It's all too easy hit the space bar and not realise that the amp and the interface are cranked.
