(Get the code!)
Analog Mixer have a real big headroom to do it. You can use almost the whole range of the gain knob to do it.
We had such a headroom in Mixxx 1.11, but it was removed. (which I think Is right to remove such hidden stuff)
This has effectively increases the Loudness of Mixxx by +6dB for the non ReplayGain mode.
The issue was fixed for the ReplayGain mode, by moving the initial boost slider by -6 dB when migrating from Mixxx 1.11
If you now play loudness war tracks with samples at 1, you will notice, that the the upper half of your gain knob is useless, because it clips mediately even though the track loudness is too low.
This is no issue with replayGain enabled, because it reduces the default loudness of Mixxx again to have such a dynamic headroom.
(the same as Mixxx 1.11)
Some user like a loud Mixxx, some have a tracks with mixed loudness or dynamic range, so it is a good idea to have a preference option for this.
