Not just perceived "louder".

Gain Staging is an important thing.

If the amplitude of the signal is down from where it was in BIAB, it will actually have less average power to it. This is measurable.

RealBand sounds "different" when you load the file because RealBand starts out with all Volume Faders for each track set to 90. By design. You must set about remixing the tracks in RealBand.
