OK.  Potential breakthrough here - maybe.  I just tried recording 
automation again on this same track 9 and this time it was sent to 
channel 1 on track 1.

Last night it went to channel 10, track 10.

This got me thinking and I looked at the pattern view, and I 
actually had channel 1/track 1 selected.  So I scrolled to channel 9 
and did the volume fade again and sure enough, it recorded to 
channel 9/track 9.

So I guess my question is:  If I'm in volume edit mode and even if 
I'm using the 9(I) controller to change volume and I'm hearing track 
9's volume change while I am actually recording, will it go to 
whatever channel is selected in pattern mode?

If this is the case, then is it possible to record volume automation 
for multiple channels in one take?

I'm just confused that I haven't encountered this before.

Either way, I think I have a work-around for now.

Again, I appreciate your guys' help.  You have definitely steered me 
in the right direction.
