It's kind of annoying when you find a great style and then it's just doesn't create the nice ambiance and project cleanly. Increasing volume too is limited It happens on quite a few Real tracks not just midis. I use mainly Jazz/Latin. Any advice welcomed. PC Win 10.

Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Each person creating RealTracks is in different studios. You can use the Normalize or Volume Gain effect to bring up the volume level of any track in a song. Those same effects can be applied to a RealTrack audio file. But remember that when you apply an effect to a RealTrack that you are editing a RealTrack so the change will be present forever.

If you have a good MIDI sound generator, timbre of each voice changes with the 'note on' control level. Example: At low volumes, a saxophone sounds mellow, but that same sax can sound shrill at high volumes. Many acoustic and electric instruments are like that. When you think of it, so is the human voice. This is a factor I always use when making my MIDI styles. Or course, a good MIDI synth is needed, some cheaper synths and plugins will not react that way.

Than at least everything has some sort of perspective balance. This might not work for everyone. It generally works for me.
