Using Inserts on Channels

You can use software plug-in inserts or hardware inserts on
any Input Channel or FX Return.
Using Plug-In Inserts on Channels
Plug-Ins are arranged in virtual racks, which allow signals to
be sent to and from each plug-in as if it were an external pro-
cessor. Plug-Ins can be used in two ways: as inserts, or as ef-
fects in a Send/Return arrangement.
Insert The plug-in is patched in at the insert point on an Input
Channel or FX Return. Each Input Channel may have up to
four plug-in inserts.
Send/Return Signal is sent to the plug-in over any of the sys-
tem busses (usually an Aux Send) and routed back to an Input
Channel or FX Return.
For more information on using plug-ins in a Send/Return ar-
rangement, see "Using Plug-Ins as a Bus Processors" on
page 154.
