You can only record on one track at a time on the XL-7.  You can
control and record multiple channels of data at once, but only into one
track.

It will help you to become familiar with the differences between
channels and tracks.  I know it's a bit esoteric, but it will help you
in the end.  Tracks go to channels.  You record into one track at a
time.  You can put as many volume commands for different channels into
one track, but they will go to whatever channel(s) the track is routed
to.

Yes.  Make a MultiA track and record your automation into that.  If you
want to then put that data back into your tracks, copy the MultiA track
to the clipboard and then use the Explode Clipboard To Tracks command. 
You can then erase the MultiA track.  Note that this will only work if
you have your tracks and channels numbered the same.
