Hello Graham,

Volume, panning, reverb, and tone settings should all be saving with individual songs in Band-in-a-Box. It is possible that your override settings were changed. Override settings allow you to ignore settings saved in songs, and retain global settings instead.

You can access your override settings by clicking on the "Song Settings" button. From the Song Settings dialog, click on "Overrides" in the bottom left. From the Overrides dialog you can either click "Default" to revert to default settings, or manage the settings individually.

If you wish to do it manually, please make sure there are check marks beside "Allow loading of any these settings" and "Volume". In fact, by default, all of the items in this dialog before "Force to Simple Arrangement" should be checked. You will want to leave all of the simple settings unchecked unless you want all of your songs to play a simple arrangement.

You should not have to save your songs with patches and harmony if the override settings are correct.
