Roger, welcome to the forum and to Band-in-a-Box.

Congratulations on finishing two songs. You're off to a great start!

I assume by lead-in you are referring to to two bar count-in prior to the start of the music.

Two count-ins maybe used in a song, a MIDI count-in with MIDI drums and a RealDrum count-in that is part of the RealDrums audio recording.

If you are using a RealDrums count-in the audio mixer has no effect on the two bar count-in. One option is to locate the count-in audio in the RealDrums file and edit the audio by boosting the volume. The only way I would do that is by copying the file, giving the copy the original file name and editing the copy. I don't want you to accidentally mess up or lose and original RealDrums file.

Conversely you can contact PG Music support, ask them to check out the count-in volume and wait for the edited file to be included in a future update.

If using MIDI drums, try Ctrl+E (Preferences) > Count-In/Met > Audible Lead-In volume
