Ok I gotta ask now.. What do you mean by 'contiguous' regions.
Mixing drums recently, I went and painstakingly cut out the cymbal  
noise/silence/etc in between the hits on my snare tracks.
At the time I started editing I had completely forgotten we have the  
Strip Silence tool available so I did it the hard way.

So when I decided to go back and do it again with Strip Silence and  
make it 'cleaner',  Not having moved any of the snare hits from their  
original positions, I selected the whole track and hit the glue tool.  
It wanted to make an entire new bounce. Now sometimes Ive seen it  
just simply recombine two audio regions I had without bouncing, and  
it obviously does it great with MIDI..
So is it because I removed audible sections in between the hits that  
it wanted to make a new one?
I figured it would just combine the hits with silence inserted in but  
nope, wanted a new track made.

What I did anyways was just drag the original back out onto a new  
track, lined it up with the previous one, stripped silence, deleted  
the old one, moved the new track to the old snare tracks channel. I  
mean its not too much extra work but it couldve saved some combined  
time as i had to do this with 6 songs, and both the Kick and two  
snare tracks in each song hehe..
(And next time I'll remember I have the Strip Silence tool WHEN I  
START EDITING)
