Oops, this should go into main, we didn't rename the outputs in 2.3 yet. |

hmm.. It's also rather inconsistent for the GUI documentation and in skins: I think we should add this to 2.3 --except maybe the sound hardware preferences documentation-- but the remaining skin labels can easily be adjusted for 2.3 (even with the label/tooltip inconsistency). |

Hmm, I think it would be confusing to talk about "Main output" if it's named "master output" in the preferences. I'm not particularily keen on splitting up this issue. If you think it's needed, please go ahead, otherwise let's just postpone it until 2.4. |

ah okay, I see mixxxdj/mixxx#3868 was merged to main because of String freeze. Side note: why should Master/Main be translated at all? I vaguely remember we discussed to not translate terms that are virtually omnipresent hardware labels on most DJ/audio gear. |

So, should we merge this into main? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
maybe emphasize that the term "master output" has been used historically, but is being phased out so people will know which one to use?

Can you suggest a wording? I'm a bit uncreative today.

Maybe add an extra sentence at the end of the description like this:
Please note: the term "master output" has been used historically but is in the process of being phased out. Prefer using "main output".
I'm not too good at writing either so feel free to make changes as you see fit

I guess owen doesn't have any interest / time to review this so I'll go ahead and merge now. |

sorry I didn't have time to review. thanks for doing the work |
Following up on our commitment we made here: https://mixxx.org/news/2020-06-29-black-lives-matter/
This replaces the term "master" with "main", "master sync" with "sync lock", "sync master" with "sync leader". I did not replace occurences where I had the impression that it referred to a hardware label, as this would make it harder to find the corresponding button/fader.
This also fixes an actual issue because we already replaced the term in the GUI, but the old term was still used in the docs.
