Simple: Keep your hands off the master volume fader. Let it stay at 100%, there are other ways to make your sounds better/fuller/louder. If your audience finds your track too quiet, they can can turn up the volume on their end. You shouldn't do that for them.
One way to boost the volume properly without screwing up your entire project is to:
- assign the sound(s) that you want to boost to an FX channel
- apply amp/boost effects
- turn that channel's volume up
- apply a limiter if needed
Remember: red is bad.
