Applying plug-ins to individual clips

Question

Perhaps this is a dumb question, seeing as how I'm new to Logic and all. Anyway, I want to apply certain plug-ins and effects or whatever to only certain parts of my recorded track, not the whole thing. All i can figure out to do is apply it to the whole track. When I double click the region and highlight what I want to edit all i can do is basic functions to it (gain, silence, invert, etc.). How can I go about applying plug-ins inside of an individual region to a desired highlighted area?

Answer 1

immo's answer will do it it, but if you want total control i.e. several effects assigned to several places on the one track and the effect is not a 100% change of sound (i.e. you still want to hear the original audio) which also leaves you the option of using this track's automation on volume or pan there is another way. Set up several Aux channels (Logic default set-up gives you two Aux channels, but you can have 32 or 64 (bad memory at mo) - press Apple and 8 and it opens a new screen, select Audio on the left panel, then scroll across until you find the two default Aux strips, then select these two and copy and paste them - they will land on top of the existing ones so you'll have to grab and move them - you might want to move all the strips to the right of these further to the right to make room - when you've created the new strips you'll have to manually assign the output on the left panel - Aux 3 (and change it's name), Aux 4 etc, otherwise you'll end up with loads of aux 1's & 2's!).
Once you've set up a few Aux channels, put your effect(s) on this strip and select its input source as the audio/instrument track you are using and its output (as the others or whatever). Then use volume automation on this Aux track to bring the effect in when you want the it, and out when you've done. You can assign several Aux channels to a single Audio/instrument channel, so you can have reverb for verse 1, delay on the chorus, back to the original reverb for verse 2 then throw in a wah and delay on the middle 8, or whatever you want.
Hope this helps!
