I'm referring to your computer sound device's Software Mixer applet.

It is not inside BiaB, but all sounds, including those made by BB, must go through it.

If you are using a Windows system with the built in soundcard, the Playback mixer I'm referring to can be accessed by doubleclicking the little Speaker icon in the taskbar.

If you are using an aftermarket sound device, it likely has its own Control Panel somewhere, consult the documentation for that device to find out how to access and use it, get to know it.

As for whether or not the end product is used to make soundfiles such as mp3 format, or used live direct into a PA sysrem makes no difference. My system is normalized by setting those key controls and it does not matter, live or mp3 or wav or wma format, the playback sounds identical.

Of course, different songs using different Styles and Realtracks will indeed have different levels. This could be because a perticualar song has fewer instruments, or instruments that are just not typically loud instruments, etc. For those it may be necessary to first adjust the BB Mix accordingly and save the song with those adjustments intact.
