As Jademan says, there are ways to make effects vary over time. For example the "Sliding Stretch" effect can vary over time (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/sliding_stretch.html), and there's "duplicate and crossfade" trick that Jademan describes. It really depends on exactly...

The default Save directory (Windows) is:
