my thought was that the cue section of Cross was some how affecting the output level going to your speaker system ,, the high output/clipping you hear ,, ,,what is stopping you from switching them
heck make a recording with the levels the correct way , track up fader keeping the led at yellow the limiter on and the master outlevel at 80/90% ..

does the cue volume in the gui affect what you are hearing in your headphones ,,

(no

) does it affect the signal you are recieving to your speaker set up (yes

) ,
