In my DAW (sonar) you have the option when moving a clip to include or not include the automation and other things in that clip.

It's often simply a case of disabling the "copy automation with clip" command OR.... simply drag the nodes and lines to where you want them.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
