<< 4. the following actually worked, but there's a catch (a big one): I edited the track in audio edit, selected the whole track, and applied the edit / transpose function. Done. Track transposed. That's what I wanted. However ... now my track, in the mixer, is called "Artist" (in orange color), the track name was changed to "user edited ...etc etc", so it seems that it lost its "real track status", so to speak, so I cannot treat it like a Real Track anymore (I cannot unfreeze, regenerate it, change a riff or two etc etc). It looks like an audio track, not a Real Track anymore. Pretty inconvenient. This method is ok only if I am 100% sure that I will NOT change the arrangement of that track anymore, ever. >>

Yes, it's possible to treat it like a Real Track again (you can unfreeze, regenerate it, change a riff or two. It is now an audio track, not a Real Track. This is a very convenient and a critical component to the function of recording audio in BIAB. It also works similar to a DAW Bus or can be used for advance recording techniques like overdubs, sub-mixes, punch-ins and bouncing tracks. Bouncing tracks in BIAB is very useful for older versions prior to the introduction of Utility Tracks.

The file has been converted to an Artist Performance File. This type of audio file has been included in BIAB since 2011 when recording audio feature was introduced. One of the components of an Artist Performance File over the years is it functions as an advanced freeze option. There are many components to the total of the feature such as automatically saving and naming the audio file, changing the Labels name and description to Orange, and most importantly for your use above, automatically Transposes the track. However, it's possible to unfreeze it, regenerate it, and change a riff or two.

A more efficient way to convert the file to an Artist Performance File without using the Audio Editor is to Right Click on the track to be converted, Select Track Actions, Save Track as Performance File (WAV, M4a) Once this is done, the track will transpose with the other tracks. To continue edit the track, such as adding riff's and regenerate, the Artist Performance File can be either erased to be replaced with an updated track or edited as an audio file.
