FX on/off

[Synthia]

This might be a newbie question, but I would like know how I add an effect (e.g. Echo, delay) to a track, and have the effect last a few seconds then continue track with no effect. I reckon it is possible to chop the track and create an entirely new track, but is it possible to have an effect briefly on one track?

You could automate a bus send to an aux track with the effect on it.

 

You could automate the "mix" or "wet" level so that you only hear the effect when you want.

 

Many people do find it easier to chop the track and have a duplicate with the effect on.
