I had a funny/not so funny incident with excessive volume one night.
It was around 3am and I was working with Reaktor. I was well aware of the possibility of volume spikes so I had the volume turned real low, well one wrong edit and aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! That is one sound I don't ever want to hear again. Anybody witnessing it I'm sure would have described it as a "deer in the headlights" type of reaction. It was so startling that it took me several seconds to react and shut it down. Oh.., and the release of adrenaline was so quick and massive that it felt like a small heartattack.
LOL Happened to me also in various situations before.
As for this case in Reaper, luckily its only input gain. So everything with such amount of dB will turn to white noise in digital domain
