Can't wait for it to arrive . . . have so much catching up to do for the show. One thing . . . During ordering I forgot to ask if the pods on the screen mixer now "remember" changes (volume, panning, etc.) during mixes?
Ha! Ha! Jazzmadan . . . what a great demo! Thanks. But, what I mean is . . do the sliders remember the variations made during a mix; like changing the volume or panning in the middle of the mix?

Opps, my bad, but I have never known BIAB to do that. Maybe RB and definitely Reaper, but BIAB, no.
Right, I take songs into SONAR where I have automation of the faders (the movements of the faders are recorded and replayed). This would be a nice addition to BIAB but would first appear in RealBand (I'm assuming it's not yet there?).
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Slate VSX, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

Proper automation is not available in Real Band yet - 2014 (7).
The sliders do not adjust dynamically during playback (although the volume settings are applied to the song). The sliders only adjust their position when the transport is stopped (they also don't adjust when playback is started).

OK, great "helps" guys, thank you. This "automatic fader" will come soon I just feel. Will receive BIAB 2014 product this Monday or Tuesday and am very excited! 1rst chart will be our "Champagne Theme Opener" with . . . Phil Woods, Ron Carter and guest trumpeter. Ha! JZ
Both RB and PT can record any mixer adjustments. It's just a matter of telling the software you want to record these. 'Record Mixer Moves' is a button in the mixer window (IIRC). Other options exist also, like drawing the change in Piano Roll. Some don't like HOW the mixer sliders react, however they do react. It's a feature that's been there for a while, but the new Nodes function has seen debate in its implementation. So I disagree with VideoTracks' post. (no offense intended)
FWIW; I don't think BiaB offers this option (yet).
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!

Just flipping through the TV stations last night and came about an airing of "The songs of Pat Boone" from the Laurence Welk Show circa 1977. Low and behold a young horn player was center stage entertaining the crowd. I hope you don't mind but couldn't help noticing what a handsome young man he was.
