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.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
