It could take a lot longer, though, and therefore wouldn't facilitate the "creative process" as well as the other method in certain circumstances, or for a certain way of working. [Load plug, find effect, then open automation data, and bypass every relevant parameter except during the region; versus Load plug, find effect, process.] Why not have both options?

It would be great, wouldn't it, to highlight a section of audio or a region and destructively process it (reverse, normalize, process with a plug in)? There isn't really anything that you do in the audio editor that you shouldn't be able to do in the arrange (except maybe moving anchor points...and that would be better suited to the audio window no?) I also really like Vegas where each clip can have it's own settings (plugin, volume, etc.) best, Nathan ___ Nathan Rosenberg Music Production www.doghouseNYC.com The Doghouse NYC www.pianoVOX.com

Hi, Still looking for some elementry answers. Sorry to take up so much of your time, I guess I will would just feel alot better if knew how to do it the right way. As as of now, im just having to add audio channels to seperate the effects. Thanks I just need to know how to select one piece of audio out of a track and then add effects to it. Such as, add a little verb to the vocal on track one. Not the whole track, but just in pieces? Thanks --- Jonathan Perl <jonperl.public@...> wrote:

Automate the sends to the fx, automate the plugin bypasses, or their dry/wet ratio, automate fx returns' levels, pans and/or mutes. Quick, easy and tried'n'tested for ages. No need to apply fx destructively to any audio, cause this, as the name implies, usually makes you end up in deep sh*t when you (or someone else) happen to change your mind later on which is usually the case *unless* you have clean backups on the other track. > As as of now, im just having to add audio > channels to seperate the effects. Given the abundance of tracks and the size on displays we're supplied with today, this is also a sensible approach, in that it helps visualizing what's going on. Christian

Isn't the "bypass" function for an effect controllable by automation? If not, then setup an effects bus and automate the volume or mute status of that track. Put a reverb on the bus, send signal from your vocal track to the bus, then mute and unmute the bus track wherever you want. Todd

Dear Jonathan, I commonly edit music for dancers and employ the following strategy in my autoload for this task: Set one track as the designated FX track. Leave the original track in place with no FX. Cut the section(s) you want to add FX to. option drag the section to the 'FX Track' (this copies the section to the FX track and leaves the original in tact) Adjust as needed (fade in region, automate volume of the FX track separately.. etc) Hope this helps....
