in the old days of midi only if i remember correctly all instruments in all styles were set to a volume level of 90. i've just opened some very old midi only songs and that is the case.

i always thought that RelaStyles were mixed and balnced by PG but a recent file i created with Realtracks had default volumes of 90 in the mixer. if i changed the volume on an instrument to 110, when i loaded a new Real style that instrument remained at 110.

i closed BIAB reopened the file which i hadn't saved with the new style and it had the the instrument back at a volume of 90.

this is what the OP is talking about. so maybe PG don't mix and balance their styles. or do they do so in a hidden fashion? could it be that the styles are mixed but the mixer reading 'tweaked' to read 90 so you have a good visible range of volume to play with? unlikely but all i can think of. the BIAB volumes of 90 read 90 on the RB mixer when you open the BIAB file in RB.

but the OP is right. change style and you get the volume you set in the mixer not the default of 90. it makes no difference to me because i mix in RB but its an interesting point.

both BIAB and RB are latest versions with all update patches applied.
