[quote=Matt FinleyJust curious in case it's related, do you use the two sliders under the mixer? Those reduce the overall volume and output gain nicely. [/quote]
Ah yes ... I didn't mention the build and should have ... this is the 2024 build 1111 shipped with the Audiophile update.

I do use those sliders, but they reduce all tracks, of course, and this started because Realtracks were so much louder that the MIDI tracks (and I mean maybe +20dB on that first song, though I'm seeing less now, I know not why. I'm still seeing MIDI little more than half the green band but RealTracks going well into the red.).

Both master sliders are presently set approximately 1/2 way across, at least partly because RealTracks were already so loud. I'd have expected to have them nearer 2/3, though whether what I expect correlates with what anyone else expects is another matter. I'll admit that I've never really been sure how the master volume This Song and the master voluse All Songs are supposed to interact. Two separate and different master volume controls seems almost an oxymoron to me.
