Hi Jason, You've said that PM's aren't the best way to communicate so I thought I would post this request here. I've started a thread called Practicing Safe Sound: Hardware and Software Pitfalls for newbies in the intro forum. I'm looking for members to add any experiences with hardware/software glitches or user mistake that have been related to unexpected, worrisome audio events leaving the member wondering, "How bad was that for my ears or my gear?".
I describe in the thread how, as a newbie, I didn't know about USB issues that could effect sound and volume and unfortunately had volume bursts likely related to the USB signal path, that have left me with hearing damage. I was not using any of your products at the time. I've learned of other members with similar experiences, but fortunately without hearing damage. I would probably have avoided my experiences, had known about clues to USB instability. I'd like to pull together collected experience in a thread that might become a link on the Intro page like Baycodes thread about Hearing Safety. I credit his thread for giving me the idea.
I thought you might have come across a range of such events in your work and if so I'm hopeful you would visit the thread and post any thoughts you think might be helpful. In the meantime, I am awaiting a Gumby/Mjolnir delivery, in large part because of email information from Nick that has helped me learn about some of the thoughtful engineering in your products, fault protections, and how I might avoid any USB related issues. Thanks, McClelland
