You could deactivate the read button. :)

Is there a way of deleting all automation?

Could you just delete the automation lanes? Not sure if that would work. Just speculating.

Hey Beepy! Long time no speak....
 
Basically I am too lazy to build templates and sometimes in my workflow I will load the last project for all these lovely FX and Guitar stacks I have built so I will just load a song and use the stacks but I always automate across songs as of course, every song is different.... and because I Bus alot I recorded some automation on my main guitar bus, the problem is there is no way of seeing the automation on the bus (on the tracks yes, but bus no)
 
Anyway, my work around was just to re-record the automation on the bus on a zero and re-write the automation....It would be a nice feature if we could actually see the automation on the bus?
 
(before anyone shouts at me, I know how to put in a feature request!)
 
Anyway, I did a workaround....and it worked. Not ideal...but it worked.

Yeah, hiya, Mark. Hasn't been that long has it? Hope you've been well.
 
Anyway, I was looking at this just yesterday in regards to another question someone had and there are indeed automation lanes for busses. Are you not seeing them? Let me know and I'll take a look. I think there is a Clear Automation option as well but darned if I know here it is. I haven't messed with automation too much but am about to give myself a crash course now that I'm close to the (re)mixing phase of my tester project.
 
Cheers.

Okay... try this.
 
Open the bus
 
Click the Show Lanes button
 
Right click on a node
 
Select "Clear All"
 
Now the envelope should reset.
 
 
Hope that helps.
 
PS: I did that in X2 but it should be the same in X3 unless they drastically changed automation lanes which I don't think they have. Cheers.

I must be doing something wrong...my busses are only open in the console surely?
 
maybe I am so old skool I have missed out on making busses appear in track view?

Oh... I see. Yeah, man. You have to drag the Busses up into the Track Pane. To do this hover the cursor at the very bottom of the Track Pane until it turns into double arrows pointing up/down then click and drag upward. Now you'll have access to all your busses in theTrack Pane.
 
Crap, man. Not having access to those must have been a MASSIVE pain. Those panes have tons of useful and in some cases CRUCIAL controls (like you can use the wavform button to see a visual readout of the bus output and of course that's where the automation lanes live). Hope that gets things working for you.
 
Cheers.
