Hey guys,

I've searched the forum, but I'm just curious if you clip on the master fader in a DAW does that mean that it will damage my monitors or headphones, even if I have them set on very low levels? I'm aware of what clipping is, I just want to know how to completely avoid it on the master fader in a variety of DAWs. I use Cubase, Live, and Record currently.

Thanks!

Zach
