Hi, To select a portion of a track, you need to split it up into regions. For example, you want measures 4-13 like you mentioned. You would go to the track and press command T to split at the beginning of the 4th measure. Then move ahead to the beginning of measure 14 and press Command T again. Now you should have 3 regions. 1-4 4-13 and 14 to the end of the track. Now you can just find the region containing the measures you need and cut or copy it to the clipboard. Unfortunately, this will not work when wanting to add effects to a certain part of the track. You will actually have to cut out the region, and paste it to a new track and apply the effects to a different track.
