One thing I would add is maybe using an aux track instead of a bus. Same process but you can have the effect track right beside your original track

ahh never mind.
 

But that's not how you would use a bus in this instance.
You don't send the track output to the bus, you create a separate send to the bus. That way both the Track Output and the bus output are routed to the master bus.

interesting idea. I have to explore aux and patch points a little more.
I use buses for groups of tracks like guitars, drums bas, exc. Those tracks are all sent to a Guitar bus, a Drum bus, a Bass bus. And I have FX buses as well. like a Delay bus, reverb bus.
 
I hardly if ever send my straight tracks to the master, they are first sent to buses with bus compression, then they go to the master.
Interesting ideas though. I like it.

See, I would still use buses like that, but, in this example, I would probably send both the original guitar track and the aux track to my guitar bus.

thanks so much, however, i'm having computer problems, the same error messages are showing up when i try and open sonar. after hours on the phone with geek squad and sweetwater i decided to uninstall/reinstall sonar and so far today it seems to be working.
the errors i'm getting we discussed last week if you want to take a look. This kind of stuff makes me nuts.
a tech at Sweetwater turned me on to a free disk checking thing that will (should) tell if there are any problems with the hard drive. so at least if i need to bring the computer to get repaired i will (at least) be armed with a little knowledge because, for me, it's like bringing the car to a mechanic, they can tell me anything and i have no idea what they're talking about. i could have a tractor motor and not know it.

I appreciate questions like this, for the answers and possibilities, I would have probably just created a new track with that clip part in it, and applied the FX's I wanted to it, mixing in with fader and pan.

What kind of hard drive do you have (HD or SSD ? Cache + RPM and what size)?
