How do you apply an effect to a specific time within a track?
For example:
You have a vocal with the following lyric " One, Two, Three" and you want only the Three to echo, delay etc.

On analog boards I'll use the aux send on the channel - when the phrase comes by I'll turn it up to the effect, then immediately turn it down (or mute it if the board is capable) after the phrase passes.
In a DAW, the absolute easiest way is to copy just the word or section, paste it into another track, and route just that via aux send to the delay effect.
Automation works, of course, depending on the DAW...
What DAW are you using?
