[RWP] Automation

Wed May 28 20:49:43 EDT 2014

Yup, sonar will let you delete automation globally
on tracks and busses at any gibven spot, but you don't always want to do 
that, so my trick is to re-import the audio and put it on another bus or 
track.

Delete that existing track.

That thing of reapers not staying put where you left it just drives me 
to distraction.

But it is what it is,
and that's why we do our item based fake automation with slicing and dicing.
