I had been struggling with the issue of decreased volume when bouncing group tracks in BITWIG.
Below, I have summarized the key points and solutions.
Issue ① Volume Decrease
The group track level is set to 0dB by default, but the level of the audio track generated after bouncing was set to -2dB, which is BITWIG's default setting for bounced tracks.
While BITWIG’s default track level is -10dB, I have customized it to -2dB for easier use.
As a result, the bounced track’s volume ended up being lower than intended.

Issue ② Reverb Tail Disappearing
After bouncing, the reverb tail applied to the group track disappeared.
Solution
Enabling the “Real-time” option during the bounce process allowed the reverb tail to be included in the bounced audio.
These two issues took some time to resolve, but I’m glad I finally managed to fix them.
It was disheartening to see the carefully crafted brassy sound lose its impact, but now I can focus on production with confidence!
Problem solved! (´Д`) Meow
