My method is to make a proper arrangement that will manage pattern progression and mutes,
and have ableton live (as a slave) record the fader movement in a clip,
then when you play the arrangement, all fader stuff will be automated,
you can also automate other parameters, I change scenes by myself but I guess it’s also programmable (in the arranger?)
I only record the master but you could make 8 recordings, if fader is automated the final result will be fine.
