Your use case is valid, albeit unusual. I think in most situations it
would be unexpected if the master output and the master meter did not
match the record & broadcast signal. Also, most sound cards have a
hardware volume control. I think the Xone K2's RCA outputs are intended
to be plugged into a DJ mixer before going to an amplifier so A&H
omitted a volume control so the gain staging going into the mixer cannot
be set up improperly by the user.
It is not quite intended for this purpose, but in your situation you
could use the Booth output instead of the Master output and adjust the
Booth gain knob. This does not affect the record & broadcast signal. We
could document this in the tooltips for the gain knobs (which reminds me
that I still need to add tooltips for the booth gain knob).

Hi,
this weekend I djed on a friends birthday Party. Due broken Hardware I
had to hookup directly to a amplifier without any line control after my
hardware (Xone-K2) and the amplifier was unregulated.
I had to pull down the mater gain a lot so it was no too loud.
Now the problem with this is, that it makes mixxx unusable. You
basically loose the possibility to use headphone for listening to master
channel or anything in between because the levels become very different.
On the evening I thought mixxx is broken in this aspect, I'm not so sure
now but at least then it's missing a second level meter. Anyway,
recordings done when the master know is used to limit the loudness need
massive afterwork to get to a decent loudness.
We either need a second master knob that sits just before the signal is
sent to the line out and after it is recorded and shown after the master
UV meter, or the master gain knob should only regulate the volume after
the master UV meter and recording and you should adjust the gain on the
channels instead on master.
Does somebody use the master know for anything else then reducing the
volume ? In which case I think it would be more useful.
kind regards
Daniel
