Hi there Brian,
Yes we have increased the master gain in 2.4.1 because a lot of our users were complaining that the master level was too low in previous versions.
You can just set the auto-gain feature to a lower decibel to stop this. It won't hurt or effect any of your tracks. Or you could just turn down the master gain at the top of the screen.
By the way, Scratch Live is a 32bit program, 4gb is the most amount of memory that is available to use. Having 16gb of RAM won't matter that much, but it is good to have! :)
Seeing as though you are mixing video and audio all live and at the same time, then yes your computer will get hot.
Don't worry too much about the heat, MacBooks are meant to get hot while under heavy processing. It even says that in the Macbook manual.
Are you running a third-party computer cooler or fan control program?
Cheers :)
