Apply an effect to just a clip on any track...

Why Live doesn't do this and every other peice of audio/video software I own does, is beyond me. But you should be able to apply a string of effects on any one clip without it effecting the other clips on that track.

I've needed this before, and duplicating a track is just a waste of space. +1.

I can see how that would be useful, but why not just set up a different AUX send for that effect, and automate that send in/out or the send level for that one particular instance?

I'd use this a bunch if it existed.

I'm interested to know how you think this should work?

I use sends for this. I set up the return with the effects I want and then turn on or increase the send amount for that one clip or reduce the other ones.

yep.. but I'm not sure how the original request should work?

I just freeze a track,
copy the frozen clip to another track,
unfreeze the track again..

Sure I get this. Its called Offline processing in Cubase, etc. (think?)
Useful and a good request which if implemented is a feature I'd use (Quicker than the manual way, render, etc and good if you don't want to have heavy fx actually loaded into your set).
You select the clip, then "apply processing", choose the fx, audition/tweak, then confirm. The fx are rendered.
Nice one.

why offline?

would be cool if it would be on "object"-basis like in samplitude

if there should be any offline processing I rather see a more expensive timestretch algo..

applying effects to a clip is already very easy with freeze/flatten..

but for the moment I think there are much other issues to be dealt with..
offline effect processing is a luxury issue..

You guys don't edit video, do you?

On any video clip, in any editor, you just "Drag and Drop" effect and then tweak them to the wanted levels. This can be done in a wav editor, why not Live? It can be done with any video editor, why not Live?

It's interesting that you think that 5 or 6 steps are acceptable when this can be done in one...does anyone else see the logic here?

Apply an effect to just a clip on any track...
