Deleting Clips Without Erasing Automation?

[Giannis]

Is it possible to delete clips in the mix window, without also deleting the automation?

In case, how is it done?

Not that I'm aware of... What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Yes, this works. You have to switch off "Automation Follows Edit".
There's a button for it underneath the tools, or you can do it in the prefs.

I want to replace a certain clip without having to redo the automation.

For example, if I'm mixing a track that's done in another daw, and I find I need to change something in, let's say the string part, to change maybe change a note... If I delete the clip and import a new part, I also delete all automation.

Oh, ace!

Automation follows edit, thank you!

you could also just create a new playlist and drag your New Audio onto that ... automation would stay the same ..

Thanks, that sounds like a great method as well.

You can also save automation data in a template and drag any audio over it you want.
