Subject:How do I use an effect on a section of a track?

I'm working on a mix CD and the majority of stuff I've got figured out but I wanted to add a filter on track A where I mix out of "track A" into track B". When I select the effect, it applies it to the entire track A. How do I use the effect on a specific measure of the song. I cannot figure this out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Automation.

However it would be handy if Acid had FX per event as B=Vegas now does, in which case you could Split the track and add FX to that section only.

Another really simple and easy way is to move that section to it's own track.

@Chienworks:

That's the method I use. One of the downfalls is that doing this to multiple sections takes up valuable horizontal real estate.

That would be vertical., no ? One of the downsides on 1080 monitors....

Indeed. Grrrr. My current monitors are 16:10 which is nice as it gives a little extra elbow room. However, they're only 1680x1050. I'd like to upgrade them to full 1920, but now it's difficult to find anything more than 16:9 because apparently the manufacturers are terrified that people will complain about the extra 120 black pixels when they're watching 16:9 movies. So, i'd end up with only 30 more vertical pixels which isn't worth the bother.

Anybody out there sell a 1920x1440 monitor? That would be sweet! Maybe i should just break down and buy the Apple behemoth 28" 2560x1600. Well, two of them, actually.
