Summary0010040: Feature request: Some way to move mixbus automation along with regions
DescriptionIn Mixbus (I'm not sure how this is in Ardour), you can add automation lines to the mixbuses and the master bus.
However if you move regions in the project, there is no way (afaik) to make the mixbus automation move along. You'll have to copy the nodes and get them in the right position.
Automation in the tracks will move as long as they have a region (MIDI or audio) to stick along with. Yet there's no way to make an empty dummy region in the mixbus lanes.
This makes mixbus automation rather risky. If you need to move something, it's fiddly at best, or it can get just messy if you don't keep your head straight.

In Bitwig this is solved with "automation clips". However it doesn't need to be that fancy, just a way to make an empty dummy region (of course it's empty, there's no audio material in a mixbus) to have something the nodes will stick to.
Steps To Reproduce1/ Have a track (audio or MIDI) with some automation.
2/ Make a mixbus lane visible.
3/ Add some automation to this mixbus, it will be shown in an own automation lane like any other automation.
4/ Select everything (by being in Grab mode and pressing Ctrl+A), move all regions to the right or the left.
5/ All regions with all automation will have moved in sync, except for the mixbus automation, as it doesn't have any region to move along with.
