Is there any keyboard shortcut, or other ways, to control the Master volume or individual track volumes - rather than using the mouse to drag the volume sliders?.

Check out the Keystroke Commands - Hot Keys section of our online manual for all hotkeys available.
https://www.pgmusic.com/manuals/bbw2023full/chapter15.htm#keystroke-commands-hot-keys

I think the ones you're looking for are:

Ctrl+Shift+Q / W
Decrease/increase current track’s volume by 5.

Ctrl+Shift+E / R
Decrease/increase current track’s panning by 5.

Ctrl+Shift+T / Y
Decrease/increase current track’s reverb by 5.

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R
Set current track’s volume.

Ctrl+Alt+A
Decrease master volume by 5.

Ctrl+Alt+S
Increase master volume by 5.

Ctrl+Alt+D
Set master volume.

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q
Reduce all tracks’ volumes by 5.

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+W
Increase all tracks’ volumes by 5.

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E
Set all tracks’ volumes.

Hello DHOO,

I noticed from your past posts that you use Band-in-a-Box for Mac so I'm assuming your question is Band-in-a-Box and not RealBand that is only on the Windows platform.

+++ HERE +++ is a post in the Tips & Tricks forum section that gives an extensive list of ways to control track and master volume in Band-in-a-Box.
