Delete hole?

Using Sonar X3 trying to use the "delete hole" option. The music in the tracks is deleted but the hole remains. What am I doing wrong?

There should be a check box that says something like 'Remove Space' or something like that, when you do the delete of the data.

Are you specifying the region to delete in the timeline, or just selecting clips? I don't think a hole can be created unless everything in it is selected, like automation nodes and such. Selecting in the timeline seems to be the fastest way to do this.

I have all the tracks selected and a check mark in the "delete hole" box.

Put a dummy clip of event data (midi or audio) in the hole, then delete. You can't delete empty space.
It's been like this for many years and I don't know why this hasn't been addressed.

Sometimes folks insert some data into the section to be deleted, just to make sure some data is there so it will delete the hole properly.

Did you check everything in the Cut Special dialog box?

If SONAR doesn't see anything that can be cut, the Cut Special option is grayed out in the menu. An alternative to the "dummy clip" is to select everything after the hole in the timeline, then dragging left.

Read to OP again. He is deleting data (the area is full of events) but can't get the hole deleted by checking the "Delete hole". "The music in the tracks is deleted but the hole remains".

Perhaps the solution is that not everyhting is deleted?

Yes, I do have data in all the tracks I'm trying to delete. The data does get deleted but the space, hole, where the data was will not vanish. Is there some way I can attach my file so someone can try this on their Sonar?
