This is because both programs have their own separate mixers in them.

The tracks themselves are what we want to have when importing into another seqauencing program such as RealBand. They come to us Dry, and as if they were just recorded, with levels such that they are not too low nor too high to allow us to use the doggone mixer in the host program to obtain a good mixfit.

If we had a 16 track tape made at Studio A and moved the tape to Studio B, we'd have exactly the same situation -- the mixer moves applied over in Studio A would not transfer over to the tape being played on Studio B's transport through Studio B's mixer, we'd have to "throw all faders up" and see what we have and start mixing it.

That is a Good Thing.

Imagine the problems that would ensue if BiaB exported the track turned up all the way and then you discovered that you needed to turn that track down... Gain Staging would smack your project right in the forehead. Sure, it can be turned down softer, but it would still sound "blasty". That's just one example, there are others.
