Adding Effects to sections

Hi,

I currectly use Vegas for basic audio recording, and typically use effects sparingly. I was wondering, is there a way to apply an effect to just a portion of a specific wav file? My current skill level only allows me to apply effects to the entire track, or open the track in Sound Forge and permanently apply it to the section I desire. I am hoping there is a way to do this in Vegas, much like a pan or volume envelope that targets a specific location and doesn't create an "undo" situation. Any guidance??

You can split the event and copy to a separate track to use the effect as a track effect (inelegant). Or you can use it as a bus effect and fire up an FX automation envelope for simple effect-level automation.

V4 will reputedly have automation envelopes available for all (compatible) FX parameters. Dunno if that'll be for track FX, or bus effects only.

1)go under the tools menu and add an assignable fx (tools-audio-insert assignable fx)

2)click on the track you wish to partially effect, insert menu-audio envelopes-fx.

This will give you an effects env that you can use to partially effect a track.
