How to make a center of an object transparent?
Is there a way to make a middle area (that is not a specific shape) of a masked object that is not layered transparent in Illustrator?

Jason,
As I (mis)understand it, you have to create a(t least one) path on top of everything that establishes the desired transparent middle area.
In connexion with a Clipping Mask, you can make a hole in it by selecting both the new path and the Clipping Path and then apply Minus front (Pathfinder) or Compound Path > Make (the former is is (more) failsafe).
Or you can use this/these path(s) as the Opacity Mask, as mentioned by Ton.
The best/exact solution depends on whether you wish to have a transition or an abrupt change into the transparent centre.
