This process that you mentioned is what I'm doing already, but I find it frustratingly slow. I often want to apply adjusted Eqs and reverbs with slightly different settings to different clips.
The reason that I want to be able to do this is that Vegas doesn't seem to be able to handle as many real time FX as I want it to be able to, so I find that I need to render some of them out.
It's odd- the task manager says my system is hardly being tasked when Vegas starts bugging out.
"As many as I want" is up to 30-40 instances room verbs, 7-10 instances of RComp, maybe 5 instances of speakerphone and several hundred instances of EQuality.
That's a lot of processing. Can you use automation on the track level to make the small changes instead of adding more instances of the plugins?

Sometimes this is possible.
I wish there was a way to automate entire "states" for a plugin. If I am changing 5-10 parameters of a plugin, I'd much rather be able to take "print" of the entire state than have to change the parameters individually...
I know that envelope points can be copy and pasted. Still...

Reaper is an amazing program and I generally try to do a lot of audio-only work on it. There are still a few GUI elegance issues I have w/ Reaper, and the video playback still isn't quite on par w/ Vegas. So I find myself using Vegas more for audio-for-video.
HOWEVER, I do see that Reaper has added many if not all of the audio features I have been requesting for Vegas. Justin is one of the most responsive, friendly, and intelligent developers I have ever encountered.
