[RWP] Setting Initial Volume of Midi Tracks in Reaper

[Jim Snowbarger]

About adjusting volume, I realize you can use page up and page down once you 
have tabbed to the volume control.  But, in the track view, you can use 
alt+up and down arros to modify volume slightly.  Likewise for pan, using 
alt+left and right arrows.  But, those go in tiny little steps.  Alt page up 
and down don't seem to do anything.

How loud is infinity DB?  I think it is just 3db shy of the spl at a Beach 
Boys concert I suffered in 1973.  My ears are still ringing.
