EdAdding compression (and other effects) to regions only) want different ty

Question

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to Logic and I'm trying to find out how to add compression to specific regions in a track. I recorded a live band and I recorded and I want different types of compression (and other effects like eq and even panning) for different parts of the song. For example. I have a guitar track that I recorded , I split the track up from one region into several regions corresponding to the sections of the song. Now I want to add different effects to these different regions. Can I do this in one track or do I need to split all these regions up into their own tracks. I can only see how to add effects at the track level. I can only edit certain things (like Normalization) in the sample editor.
Thanks in advance.

Different ways of doing this:
*If you want to add effects for the different regions on the same track you will have to automize the compressor/Eq/panning settings
*You can setup different tracks with different Fx settings and move the regions to those new tracks - this way you don't have to automize the different parameters
*If you want to destructively edit the regions you can either do that in Soundtrack Pro (select the region and hit shift+w to open it in SP - add you fx in there - save the file and it will be updated in Logic)
or
*rerecord the regions with the fx through a Bus directly into Logic - route the region track to a Bus and select that Bus as an Input for a new Audio track
or
*bounce/reimport the region+fx
