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.

Word!
 
Its a pain in the ass!

But can you see the Bus Pane now? There is a keyboard shortcut to make it popup too but I'd have to dig through my notes to find it. I usually just drag it up...
 
You know, I could really use that shortcut. BRB.
 
Edit: Show/Hide Bus Pane in X2 is Shift + B.
 
Probably the same in X3. Cheers.

^^^^
 
Shift+B it is.
 

my key bindings are all mine 

I find it very weird that you can highlight a track and cut all the automation, but that you can't do this with a bus.  I have actually had to take the razor blade and cut node by by node, which is really dumb.

Are you still unable to get the Bus Pane visible, Mark? If you don't access to the keybinding try dragging it up into view like I said.
 
In the Track Pane (left side of the track view where the track controls are) go to the very bottom border of the pane. The cursor should change and you can then just drag it upward. In fact maybe trying going through your screensets as there might be a default one that has the bus pane visible.
 
@konradh... How to you mean? Cut? Like Ctrl + X cut for copying or just clearing the envelope? Like I said just right click the node to clear all. Not sure how range select would work for stuff like this but I'll try later. Cheers.

Nice one Beep! Got it!!

Great! I was getting a little obsessed with you finding that thing... lol. Now hopefully it will actually do what you want it to. There do seem to be some limitations but it should make things at least a little easier. Cheers.

Yup all automation now cleared and an old skool Sonar user learnt a new trick!  Again, cheers buddy!
 
I swear to God Sonar is getting like Pro Tools where half the features aren't in any options but are in little shortcuts, not a grumble or anything.

I might have to sir down for half a day and check on all the keybindings and see if there are other features I need.
