No problem.
I have a different interface from a different company, but what made me think of it was the fact that my software for my interface defaults to a setting where all the analog outs have the same amount of attenuation as the monitor outs and that's controlled by the volume knob on the front of the interface. The first time I tried using an external compressor, I kept having the amount of compression change whenever I'd adjust the volume of my monitors. Once I found the button in the software that let you decouple each analog out from the monitor level controller, it all started making a lot more sense.
Which is all just to say that, depending on the architecture of your interface and it's accompanying software, you might have a similar setting which, if you can find it, will mean you shouldn't have to worry about this problem again, regardless of what you do with your monitors or other line outs.
