Hey everyone, one odd issue here.  
I am using my QC as a Audio interface with Logic and JBL K701 for monitoring.

In the I/O settings the headphone out is always clipping, only it stops clipping when I lower the multiple out output on a preset. If I lower just the HP out it is still clipping only with lower volume.

But when I record the sound into Logic and playback it is not clipping, everything seems fine and the sound is good.

So not sure why it’s happening. Only workaround I have found is to have 2 separate outs for recording, so the whole preset is divided between multiple out (where the volume is lowered because of clipping) and USB 3/4 (normal volume so I get enough gain into Logic.

Does anyone have the same experience and how I can manage the clipping on global level and not to edit each preset?
