Sure there is.

I make MIDI click lead ins loud enough to hurt when recording drum tracks with live drummers! Open your file in RB.
(yes you can open the BiaB file in RB)

Use Edit- Insert measures (or close) to insert a couple measures at the beginning so you have time to grab the dobro ... or just pick it up before hitting record.

Then copy/paste the click count-in section to its own Track (using a new blank track).

If the click is MIDI;
Assign that track to it's own instance of the synth by using 'right-click' and selecting Port .. choose an empty Port (there are about 15 available probably down at the bottom of the list) then assign that port to a second instance of the synth being used. You need to do this so the next steps don't affect any of your other tracks that are using the original instance of the synth. You'll catch on once you do it.

Now assign PGPeakLimit to the second box down in the DX FX area.
To do this look to the left end of the track, click the little down pointing arrow and select DX FX, and when it opens make sure your synth selection (the top box of the four) shows the desired synth, and in the second box down insert the PGPeakLimit.
Set the PGPeakLimit to be LOUD by boosting the gain slider.

Sometimes I go ahead and convert the click to audio so I can boost it even more, but this should get it good and loud for you.

Key info:
1.Assign a separate track to a sepearate instance of the synth (if MIDI) so the next effect only affects what you want it to.

2.Understand that the top box in the DX FX area on MIDI tracks is for the synth .. but the next three boxes can be used for audio FX on the sound produced by that synth.
So it is possible to use audio FX in real time on MIDI tracks with a little effort.

TBH I usually make a true click track (audio) and boost it until the drummer winces during recording sessions .. but this method described above has been used many times in the past also.

Usual workflow now:
I created a file called click.mid that I simply import into any seq file. It adjusts to any tempo. It also is 100 measures of MIDI sidestick (on the beat) and is set to have the '1' be volume = 127 (max) and 2-3-4 have volume at about 116.
I copy or cut this new track to the needed length for a given song.
I then convert it to an audio track and end up with a real click track to work with. Then I can use PGPeakLimit (twice or thrice if needed) or use other limiters/EQ at will to cut through any mix .. but that's just how I do it. YMMV
