This question must have been asked 1.000.000 times I guess but even after googling for hours I did not find the answer. I know houw to add an FX, like EZMix, to a track but I want to add it to ( part of a) take. Now I know you can drag the FX to the take or add it in Take, FX chain but after adding it.......the FX isn't receiving any input/signaol so It's stays "dead".... so I have to adjust some settings but, as said, I didn't find it anywhere....... Please help me out

Do you maybe place the FX on a MIDI Item ? If so, that won't work, you can only place MIDI FX on MIDI Items.

For instance, in Reaper Action List, you have the Actions: Item: Apply track/take FX to items Xenakios/SWS: Apply track FX to items and reset volume The last action is only available in Reaper Action List when you have the free Reaper SWS / S&M extension installed:

You have a track with a synth or instrument in the track FX chain and a MIDI item in the track, is that right? In that case ... The easiest way to add another FX to apply to only part of the item is to insert it in the track FX chain after the instrument then add a bypass envelope for the FX and adjust it so that it only functions during the required passage.
