How to map MIDI to basic DAW behaviour?
Many MIDI controllers have preset behaviour to adjust track volumes, pans, and multiple sends etc. that work on 8 or more tracks. A set might only start with 4 tracks and 2 sends and these can get deleted, added and rearranged but the control stays fixed and works on new tracks.
I know how to map active controls but how do I target these persistent controls and save them as a template for future sets?

You could use your own remote scripts , which requires a bit of time . Or you could search for the specific controler if someone made any already .
Its very usefull for workflow indeed.
An easy simple solution , would be to start a new project -> map all the parameters you want > then save set as template. But then is a static mapping and you want something dynamic .
If you can't do with controller scripts you could try kapture maybe to see if it saves also midi mappings : https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/kapture/
