Just to amplify that a bit... generally a process effect is one that's not suitable for real-time processing - either because it's processor-intensive or because it has to analyse what's there before applying it. Usually this applies to effects like Noise Reduction (the non-adaptive one). As SuiteSpot says, they're generally found in Waveform view. In the on-line help files (clue - these are easily searched using Google) it says:

 

'You can identify process effects by the word process in menu commands. These processing-intensive effects are available only offline in the Waveform Editor. Unlike real-time effects, process effects can be applied only individually, so they aren’t accessible in the Effects Rack.'

I think you will find those in the Waveform view and I'm pretty sure that means that you will be making destructive/permanent changes to the wave file
