@Corneloues: You may be getting distortion in the audio even at 0dB because the channel gains in software are set too high. In this case the audio would already be distorted once it gets sent to the VMS4 and the VMS4 can't undo the distortion.
You can easily fix this by running the software gains lower and the EQ gains on the VMS4 higher.
As far as the output level is concerned, the VMS4 is set up to run directly off of either USB power or an external adapter which are both 5V. Because of the lower supply voltage, the output level is also a bit lower. If we made this a full +/- 15V product like a typical mixer, then the power drain would go way up, and the product would need permanent external power. So if you lost the power adapter you would be completely stuck.
Some background on myself if I may:
DJ - 25 years +
Digital DJ - 5 years +
Virtual DJ Pro - 2 years +
I am actually upgrading from a Hercules RMX to the VMS4. The gains are set as they should be within the software - This hasn't changed in over 2 years - I know what I'm doing!
If you read the post correctly, it's the mic that disorts, the issue with the output is the overall volume is low even when peaking at +4dB.
