TomD If you are comparing the RB output to commercial material, then indeed try using the FX on the main output. Use the A1 slider in the mixer of RB and add FX to these slots.
Quickest/cheapest is to insert PGPeakLimit plugin there and push the input. You should notice a difference right away.
More elegant is to insert Ozone Mastering software there and be amazed at your options. (warning, don't try Ozone if there is no way you can afford to get it) It's the single best plugin to get what you are describing inside PGMusic products, at least in my mind. If you want a 'commercial finished sound' inside the program, this is a very good tool, but be forewarned; if you try it you'll probably really want to buy it.
There are cheaper alternatives that may be all you need, just thought I'd mention one I really enjoy.

As suggested I used A1 output to apply pg effects. I was able to get much better volume. I also tweaked individual track effects. I'm still experimenting with how to use send , insert, aux methods. I have not found good tutorial on it, maybe somebody will have one someday.
Thanks for the help.

I'm still experimenting with how to use send , insert, aux methods. AUX is a way to add FX 'in addition' to the track FX. I find it helpful to think of it linearly. Track signal gets mixed with track FX first. The AUX send allows you to send any number of tracks to a different set of FX, and in varying levels. Very powerful. For instance you can send tracks 1,3,5,7 and 9 (or any combination of selected tracks) to a given AUX FX slot, (and all in varying amounts) yet allow those tracks to share the same Reverb effect (for example). This allows those Tracks to: a. conserve resources; they all share one instance of the plugin effect b. have the desired effect applied to all tracks in varying amounts The major plus side of this (and why I used Reverb as an example) is that all the tracks enjoy a single instance of the plugin, which reduces load, yet each track can have a varying amount of the plugin(s) applied .. typical would be to use a reverb for drums, a little less of the same reverb for bass, maybe a little more on guitar and vocals, yet because all the reflections are the same, all the tracks sound a little more like they are in the same 'room' when listening to the end result and conserve resources at the same time. Hope that helps /A1 Output rules; it's where the true out levels lie

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
