when i try to add an fx to one part of the audio track( i do this by splitting the track and dragging an fax to that part.)in particular, i was using camel phat and twice the program stopped responding and i had to force close it. anybody else having this problem? i'm on windows 7 pro with 16 g ram quad core processor if that helps.

MC7 does not have clip FX bins so dragging a plug-in to a clip makes no sense to the program. It should not crash and it did not when I dropped the only Alchemy FX I have on top of a clip (CamelCrusher). It is possible to destructively apply a plug-in by right-clicking on the clip the choosing Process Effect and follow the menu to the appropriate plug-in. Or move the clips to different tracks or use sends for different effects.

thanks!
 

sorry - scook beat me to it!
