Applying FX over a portion of a track

Bumpy wrote on 6/18/2004, 10:09 PM
I believe that I am missing something extremely easy, but I just cant seem to figure it out. I did a search on this forum and I found nothing that applys.

First of all, I have the standard plugins that came with Vegas 4.0. I understand how to use the automated FX, but there are instances where I would like to apply an FX over a certain portion of a track, maybe perhaps change the settings of the same (or use different FX) and use it for the remainder of a track. (I know that I can cut that portion out of a track, insert an "Empty event" over the selection, insert that "bite" into a new track and FX AWAY, but there are more issues to deal with there)

If this is possible, please describe in detail.

Thanks
Brian

You can do that with the FX envelopes. Check out the Help in Vegas. It should answer your questions more fully.

1. Split out the section you want to apply the effect too, by hitting the "S" key and creating a seperate event.
2. Right click on that event
3. Select "Apply Non-realtime event FX"
4. Add your FX
5. Hit OK

This is a useful response I got way back from a post I made regarding the same question:


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.

Well then you should know that you can simply add an effect to a track,

set up the parameters of the effect,

click the little arrow next to the effect icon in the track bringing up the automation window,

select Bypass which will place an envelope in the track bypassing the effect then you can double-click the automation envelope line (very bottom of the track) to anchor it to the point where you want the effect to start affecting the audio and right next to that node double-click again and drag that node up to not bypassed.

You can get much more elaborate with the individual parameters of the effect also.
