This is not a problem with my Seventy Two, but is with my MC6000Mk2. With the MC6000Mk2 at least, there seems to be a solution, but I think it degrades sound quality slightly. I'd love someone to confirm or otherwise as I'm new to Serato. On Serato DJ Pro, there is a level control to the right of the master VU meter, top right of the screen. It is independent of the master level on the mixer. It affects the master level, but it does not affect the cue level. If you set this to minimum, then compensate by turning the master on the mixer up, then the master and cue levels are nearly the same on headphones. I would imagine the fix is a firmware thing, but the MC6000Mk2 is discontinued and this was reported on Serato forums in 2012, so I guess we're unlikely to get help. Very weird as I slide from cue to master all the time to compare tunes' levels, EQ, timbre, etc - it's absolutely central to every track change I do! I think this'll degrade the sound quality slightly though, as I think you're sending a lower digital signal to the mixer, which then amplifies it up again. This means you're leaving loads of unnecessary headroom on the digital signal. I think Serato should not have that adjuster, as it only invites sub-standard routing like this - in fact I have to turn it down a little so that a correctly trimmed channel doesn't clip at master. That's nonsense. Channels should be trimmed to max less headroom, you don't want an additional level adjustment in the software - it causes issues like this. Perhaps it wasn't there when the MC6000Mk2 was built, as I can't believe Denon would have missed this. I realize I deserve to get shot down for this, and it is a bit baity, but Traktor has nothing like the number of glitches or bugs as Serato (and I never had a $2000 controller for Traktor!). I have sent emails of questions to support and every time they come back asking for more details so they can investigate, or apologizing, rather than telling me how its done. I appreciate Traktor's architecture is PC-centric whereas Serato's is mixer-centric, and that has its advantages, but I've been learning Serato for a few months and am always stumbling across obvious bugs, and they're often not particularly hard ones to solve. Windows had a similar problem with its filesystem, until they forced developers to use the filesystem they were writing, to store their code. Serato should get its devs to spend a little more time using the software and sorting out all the rough edges. It is a bit embarrassing.

I'm curious what the work around to this is? I know this post was 1 year ago, but there's still an issue
