KVR Audio

So I have Audient ID4 MK2 (the volume knob doesn't have a stopper, it rotates indefinitely), This gives a lot of gain, especially when producing in headphones. Obviously, in the DAW I have a clipper on the master channel to prevent from accident volume spikes during processing. But what I cannot protect myself from is setting the audio interface to a very high volume accidentally. Is there any workaround? Thanks.

Does the knob have any sort of indicator? My EVO4 has a pretty LED ring around it, so I know where the knob is knobbing to. Looking at a pic, I see it doesn't seem to have any sort of indicator. Odd! I would not like that at all.

As a workaround my EVO4 actually controls the PC system level (rather than an internal VCA), so I can see the numbers fly if I have the output level on display - how to do that without hovering or using the software clone onscreen???

Hi Benedict! It does have the indicator, but it turns off automatically after a few second. The volume knob itself rotates so easily, that I have accidentally set to the max a few times. That was painful..
