Maybe I did not explain this well.

If you have a song loaded into Real Band and the master volume is at 100% and you put on headphones and hit play (and your Asio output is set loud enough), you will go deaf.

Sure, you can go to your asio and make sure your output knobs there are set low, but there is no reason why the master volume would need to be set that high under any circumstances and the volume button is so small, it is easy to miss.

The default volume on BIAB is about 50% even after a new install for me. See screenshot below. If it were set at 100% and you didn't see it, and you hit play you would blow your ear drums out if your Asio is turned up high enough. There would never be any reason for it to have a default setting at 100%. That is WAY into the red. Same with Real Band.

I don't really understand the questions around this. It seems obvious to me. Maybe I am missing something.

The master volume for listening has no effect that I know of on rendering tracks. That is different.
