How to let effects persist?

I have loved Audition, but, not for one thing. I have to create separate tracks to add different effects to clips. I mean, the effects don't seem to persist after the clip is over. For example, if I add Delay or Echo as a clip effect, it stops as the clip ends even if there are more tracks (or clips) after that. So, if in a track, I have to add different effects to different parts of the track, I have to create a whole new track and that makes the "Clip Effect" option useless. Any solution to keep the effect lasting even after clip ends? I hope I could explain it clearly. Please let me know if anyone didn't understand.

    How are you applying the effects to the clips? Are you adding them as realtime effects or adding them to the audio file in the Waveform view? Normally if you are applying Reverb or Echo to a clip you would sue a Bus with the effect applied and use the Track sends to send the clip audio to the Bus. That way the effect keeps on after the clip ends because the Reverb is on the separate Bus track.

    I am adding effects in what we can see in the "Clip Effects" and "Track Effects" pane on the left. So, yeah. I am adding effects to the audio as the real time effects (I consider).

    (I consider it's "see"  bus). I can't see any bus track. And, I am new to this and so, please take a bit of time to explain it to me well. So, where is the bus thing you're talking about and how do I use Track Sends?

    There are plenty of resources available to tell you about buses, and the stuff you can do with them. Worth reading, as they can get you out of a lot of trouble (such as you are presently experiencing with clips):

    Okay. I am going through it. So, learning that solves my question, right? Or, is there something else I am supposed to know for that?
