For example using the mod wheel on my controller during a song. If at the end of the song it is in a different position other than default it will start at that modulated position when replaying the track. So if there are multiple tracks with this happening I have to remember and click on each track and move the mod wheel up and back down before hitting play OR rendering a wav, etc. I found on some forums what was quoted in my post and I thought "yes of course". I know logic has it but can't find it in Mixcraft. Maybe an idea for next version??

In the meantime you could add a measure to the beginning of your tune to zero your controllers. I always do it at the beginning of my projects to set up my controllers (usually not 0, BTW) and activate any automations. In fact that bar already exists in my orchestra template so I don't need to redo it every project. If the bar of silence is an issue it an easily be trimmed from the final mixdown.
