–UPDATED–
Ok here`s a test case that results in 0.2dB difference when render is done before anything else including pressing play.
- Load song
- Run test pad render (or renoise render ot sample Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R)
- check differences
The master volume reduction is triggered by the testpad render. Off to check if this happens with it disabled
If you don`t have VUMT just insert something that will give you an accurate peak value in its place:
