When I make a 'time selection' and select a particular track, Applying an effect in non-realtime appears to apply it to the whole track. How can I make a permanent change to a small section of one (or more) tracks ?
I'll give my best shot at this, although I am a "newbie".
My understanding is that you can apply FX only to events, whole tracks, or entire output, but not to a time selection. So, I would suggest splitting the event at the start and end times, leaving you with a new event that covers the time you are interested in. You should then be able to apply an FX to this event.
