It depends upon the song and its mix, Keith.

Too many variables involved with which style, volume settings that may be imbedded in a style, use of RealTracks and which ones, genre, MIDI synth, etc. etc. etc.

I like to make it sound as good as I can get it sound in BIAB.

I also like to do the same once its in RealBand, of course.

If a particular audio track is too low in amplitude, I take a look at it first in the graphic waveform view to verify that and if it is, I may apply the older GainChange effect found in the File menu to raise its amplitude destructively. But keep it under the zero dB fullscale mark, of course. A good rule of thumb for multiracks at 16/44.1 or 24/44.1 is to have the thing hovering around the -6dB mark, which is a "musical" place to be and allows for mixing of tracks a little easier IMO. Each track hovering at -6dB "in the raw". Then I will use the mixer Fader for the track with a bit more safety.
