I am recording 8 tracks simultaneously with a Line 6 UX8. During post recording mixing how do you boost the volume of 1 track and get the file to remember it? i.e. during playback can you adjust the volume in the mixer but have the action recorded automatically? Thanks for the reply
If your system is up to it you can also use Volume Nodes for this same result (see image below) This way you can drag the volume setting up/down on a linear view in the Tracks window (instead of using the mixer). This doesn't move the mixer slider, but causes the same effect audibly. Use whichever way works for you, but I suggest deciding on one over the other.
The two methods can be mixed/matched together, but once you do one you need to remember it will affect the other! Having the slider go up/down abruptly while the Nodes are on a slope up (for example) will affect the results of the slider moves. Un-needed complexity and sometimes aggravation.
Since your question original question mentioned recording mixer moves, this may be your preferred method.
Also be aware on some systems Nodes can seem 'quirky'. I think it depends on your drivers, system resources and number of events. I had quirky issues when it was first introduced, but not in the last few years, your mileage may vary.
Using either the Mixer method or Nodes, know that how fast it responds depends on your driver selection. Good ASIO drivers seem almost instant .. while MME will have a lag.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
one mistake i made with nodes was pointed out to me by rharv. you can't just add a node or the volume will change gradually from the previous node. i wanted to mute a track for just two bars so entered a zero node and the program faded the volume from its previous set level over about thirty bars and introduced loads of cc7 changes in the event list.
the trick is to enter before and after nodes. a first node for the volume set most recently and then the new volume a little later. often you can see a 'gap' in the audio and if you zoom in you can place the 'after' node very close so you get an instant change - unless of course you want a gradual one. to get a fader move up do the reverse.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
