Buss automation workaround???

Sorry for the "to the point question" but is there any known way to delete buss automation?
EX  I am doing a radio edit for a song right now that need 8 bars here and there cut out, the intro cut etc.  I have a lot of buss automation, and when i go to delete hole option in the "edit delete window", the option is there, but it stays where it is in the time line.  Al the other track automation shifts with the tracks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance to all who consistently go out of their way to help!!  There's a lot of good Samaritans out there.

He wants to delete parts of all tracks with the delete hole option enabled, and have that portion of the bus automation deleted as well, while automation after the deleted section is pulled back to fill the hole, keeping it in sync with the track audio and automation.

It's a long-standing bug that this doesn't work properly. I've experimented with a number of potential workarounds, but nothing works reliably.

Ah, yes, you're right Brundlefly, I get what revsnd wants now. That problem has to be one of the most long-standing problems/bugs/bad programming in Cakewalk. It's easy to say, "So, don't do any bus automation until you're positive about the structure of your project--no more deletions needed,"--but then there's reality. That's a bad problem. RB

Actually - due to the bad implementation of Bus Automation which, as you and Dave point out, has been seriously buggy for MANY versions, I stopped using Bus Automation like I used to.

Now I only use it when I'm reasonably sure the arrangement is complete and things won't be moving around too much.

But not being able to delete the automation hole is only one bug related to bus automation.  There are some other bad ones there too - which still exist even in X1.

So I use bus automation cautiously (but wish I didn't have to be cautious with it).

Yeah, it's a pain this.

I don';t know the internal workings, but it seems to me that Sonar relates automation to lips in some fuzzy way that doesn't quite make sense to me. Whereas automation is all about the timeline, really.

I suppose this is of a piece with the lack of any kind of "ripple" editing. As in, there's a whole set of features around this kind of "all tracks" editing, as opposed to "clip editing across multiple tracks", which is what Sonar seems to do.

Lips? Clips.
