Thanks
As others have noted here, Pro Tools doesn't do "embedded" nondestructive clip-based processing in regions and the sub-regions that are derived from it.

All processing is done in the timeline, and however it's written (real-time or snapshot), ultimately it's all dynamic automation. So you can't EQ one region and tell Pro Tools "now apply this to every region within the session that's sourced from that same soundfile." So, many people have settled on the option of creating separate tracks for each source and processing the track in one snapshot pass. Or, creating a set of presets and dropping snapshots in as needed. But that gets tedious.

It is kind of a bummer. Avid WAS thinking of this stuff back in the day with their AudioVision app. Then they bought Digi, and Digi snuffed it. And now, "Digidesign is Avid."
