I didn't notice actual Swells, per se, but did notice that my shots and holds were a bit louder than I'd like.

Prefs-RealDrums and in the RealDrums Settings Window there are two slots for adjusting the Shots and Holds velocities. Default is zero, try entering a negative number there.

When back at the main PREFS window, do the same for RealTracks.

I've set all of mine to -3, but may revisit that and try a bit lower.
