I wonder does pulling the top line down change the input gain of the track, or the output gain? Volume automation is surely the output. If the problem is that the source file was recorded too hot then you need to reduce the input gain. I do pull down the top but I also use the HornetVU meter which has auto gain reduction so you don't overload / clip any plug ins you have inserted. Mmm, I will do an experiment when I'm in front of Reaper.

EDIT looking around there are a few old threads on this....
