I notice that when I set volume levels on the thru track the setting is not maintained when I save the file. In addition the pop out status of the thru track is also not maintained when I save the file.
Each time I open the file again, I have to hit + on the thru button (on the RHS of the screen) and I have to reset the volume level...
Is this a bug or a feature?
Thanks!

I view the Volume Fader setting as a feature. Since the Thru track is likely going to be involved with some sort of MIDI Controller instrument that has its own Volume send, it is better that the Vol be taken from the Controller. When first starting up BB, I have found that just reaching up and moving the Fader on the Controller while the song is playing will send the appropriate MIDI CC7 command to BB.
As for the Thru part of the mixer not sticking from session to session, I'm fairly certain that is the way it is designed to work, but hitting the Thru+ at beginning of each session takes care of that, provided you need to see it. Again, the Fader on my MIDI Controllers serves the same purpose, though, I can look there to see what the setting is.

Can anyone at PGmusic tell me which midi control change the volume parameter in the mixer window will respond to? I tried 7 but that didn't make any difference to the volume slider. 11 (Expression) doesn't either. I am using an Edirol PCR-500 and the PCR editor to change and download the program map changes to the keyboard....
Maybe someone in the user community could help, if you have successfully trigger the slider from a keyboard...
thanks in advance.

When you move the Fader or Slider on your Controller, does the actual Volume of the Thru change in the speakers?

no, it doesn't, largely because the controller does not have its own sound generation. I use it for input to BiaB on thru to trigger either a realtrack or a dxi/vst midi synth.
In addition I just verified that the keyboard is sending volume control message (7) and that in sonar, a fader responding to this control message moves in accordance with the movement of the physical slider on the keyboard.
My conclusion is that the BiaB implementation for volume control messages does not trigger track based changes. Maybe it only triggers note based changes.. like striking a key.
I will test for pan and reverb shortly. something is not working properly here...

What is the brand and model of your controller?
Reason I ask is that it is possible to have the channel outputs and such scrambled from what BB expects. BB has Channel preferences, but it is first best to find out what the particular MIDI Controller in use is, and what its default outputs are, which may just be in need of a Reset over there.

I would try a Factory Reset of the keyboard. Saves pouring thru menus trying to find what may have changed, sometimes things change inadvertently or even on their own over time. From pg 41 of the User Manual:
Here’s how to restore the settings of the PCR keyboard to the state they were in when
the product shipped from the factory.
1
Press the [EDIT] button so it’s lit.
The display will indicate “EDIT.”
2
Use the VALUE knob to select “SYS,” and press the [ENTER] button.
3
Use the VALUE knob to select “SY16,” and press the [ENTER] button.
4
“RST” will be blinking in the display; press the [ENTER] button.
5
“YES” will be blinking in the display; press the [ENTER] button.
Fingers Crossed, --Mac

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
