for those of us purposely using extreme clicks in our music: any
parameters, tests, non-obtrusive click maintaining filter ideas, whatever,
suggested to avoid transients so sharp as to threaten speakers?

as i have been using waves L1 ultramaximizer (excellent multiband limiter)
to squash some of the dynamic range to allow actors to be heard in theater,
i imagine my clicks are somewhat safer than they would otherwise be
-especially if the volume of playback is brought down a bit to allow for
high average volumes (a characteristic shared by other more mainstream
musical styles). but transients will be transients.

and digital ceiling not really a useful concept for those of us generating
noise purposefully and digitally -now is it.
