    is it possible to put an effect on part of a track? let’s say i have an acoustic guitar and one minute into the track i wanted to add some flange for 2 measures then go back ? i know i can make a duplicate of the track and process that, i was wondering if there was a more efficient way?

    What you can do is automate the bypass, mix or wet/dry parameter in the effect. That way you can control when and by how much the effect should be applied along the timeline.

    Seemed like a good topic for a video demonstration, so I created a short video of how it can be done:

    It requires that the plugin you use has a VST parameter for setting the dry/wet ratio.

    No, all effects are applied to the track. They cannot be applied to individual events on the track.
