I am able to copy and past all the tracks I need, but no matter what I do or how I try it, I cannot copy and past any automation tracks into another track. It will only allow me to copy and past the tracks themselves. I have to select the automation points themselves to copy and past them into another song, after I create the identical paramater event. If I would like to paste the cutoff, I need to create the cutoff channel in the new song so I have somewhere to paste it.

In Cubase, there's a preference Automation Follows Events, or such, that needs to be enabled to accomplish what you want. Not booted to the DAW so I'm going from memory.

Point is, does S1 have that option?

Yes, S1 has it under Options>Advanced.

Automation Follows Events works only within the track itself though. If I move any midi notes, any attached automation will move automatically with them so long as its within the parent track. Correct if I'm wrong, but this is not the case when moving the midi notes and/or track itself into another project. The automation is not copied as well. If anyone is able to copy and past automation that is not under the piano into another track, please let me know.

With midi your best bet is probably exporting a *.musicloop format file which should capture all of that being self contained, *** if *** the plugin automation is in the midi clip.

Otherwise, no chance imo. I mean, even if you export an ordinary midi file, afaik, midi has no facility for vst automation, only cc's. Even it it could somehow store vst automation it probably wouldn't be able to auto-connect it back to the new plugin in the other song anyway.

If (for midi) the *.musicloop format doesn't work, nothing probably will yet.

It does.

So the bottomline is that intrument tracks with automation may be transfered to another project via musicloops, but only if the automation is written in the midi clips.

Yeah, *.musicloop is a self contained and open xml/zip format. It's interesting conceptually because if other products supported it people could easily trade their complete instrument tracks, with plugins and settings and automation, between different daws with no issue at all.

Assuming they used the same plugins anyway.

If it ever evolved into wider aceeptance the FLAC file preview would need be optional though, to keep the file sizes down. I'm pretty sure you could (if a dev wanted to) write that format without necessarily creating a FLAC file to put inside of it.

Is there a thing where audio file will not overlap at all? So If I drag an audio file on a track, I can move it all the way to the left until it bumps against the other audio file but will not go past it or overlap. Otherwise, I have to zoom in to a high degree untill its just to touching. I guess it could be called audio snapping or something, useful when putting together a djset.

Yes, its called snap to event and is an option located in the snap main toolbar. Snap to grid has to be off though. I answered my own question
