Yes, the Clip FX function in Sonar can do this, but I find it easier to handle this kind of thing by duplicating the track, editing as needed, and use whatever inserts you want for each section.  For example, if you want to use different fx on the chorus vs. the verse, edit the first track to contain just the verses and the duplicate to contain the choruses.  Then you can tell at a glance what section has what fx.  
 
If that's the "game changing" new feature in Studio One, it's a bit underwhelming.  Must be something else.

Studio One has had clip FX for years.
 
There seems to be a lot of speculation as to what the new features might be. VCA faders being one possible option but really one has to just wait and see. Could be anything.
 
Midi wise apart from no Sysex handling of midi data, midi editing is quite deep and extensive now so not sure if they are going to go down the midi path but you never know either.

What would be revolutionary is if they changed the name from Studio One 3 to Studio Three.  Sure would make it less confusing. 

Wow, never had the slightest idea that this function existed in either Reaper or Sonar. In Reaper, know you can do some intense automations, but not that you can splice different vst's into different parts of a track. Had relied on having every fx you need loaded on a track and automating an fx to bypass when not needed, then adjusting everything else. Either that or cloning the track. A lot of extra work either way.
 
Thanks for this info. Got a lot of learning and experimenting ahead.

At the risk of being too lazy to read the manual, anyone know of any good online tutorials for the Sonar fx clips?
 
(edit)  Found good documentation for Sonar. Thanks for the tips

imagine they'll be adding track templates... the one big flaw, imo...
 

I'm signed up and have my ticket.

Know this is a Sonar, not a Reaper forum, but have beaten up the Reaper manual, gone thru every command and sub command in the program. 10 years with Reaper.
 
Seriously doubt that Reaper can do selective fx in selected areas of a track, as seems to be the case with Sonar. If so, someone with higher knowledge clue me in. Makes the chasm even deeper, strengths versus weaknesses between the two programs, unless miracles occur with the next Studio One release and everything you want to do can be done in one program..
 
The function of fx regions in Sonar is on the cutting edge otherwise.

Me too... S1v3 is sitting on my hard drive gathering dust... the last show was very interesting and got me to grab it but couldn't get into it... mostly because their template system sucks and which is a huge time waster for me...once I probed the differences, I stopped exploring, even with the gracious help of Jeff... Will be curious to see if they've finally tackled that major deficiency.  IMO, sonar does this wickedly awesome... and it is hugely powerful...

Sound On Sound this month mentions a link to Landr, a site offering 'instant online mastering'. I don't know what the nature of the link will be, probably just that, not a discount or similar.

Hi John,
 
Reaper has an Item Editor (similar to Samplitude's Object Editor).
This is an editor for each individual audio "clip" (item in Reaper speak).
Back when Reaper was new (under heavy development), many users (including myself) requested this feature.
You can assign effects/processing per clip (item) using the Item Editor (F2 to open).  
You can also swap channels, flip phase, etc... all completely non-destructive.
