Insert Effects and Send Effects

Insert Effects

Insert effects are inserted into the signal chain of an audio channel. As a result, the whole channel signal passes through the effect.

You can add up to 4 different insert effects per channel.

Use insert effects for effects such as distortion, filters, or other effects that change the tonal or dynamic characteristics of the sound.

To add and edit insert effects, you can use the following inserts sections:

• The Inserts section in the MixConsole.

  

• The Inserts section in the Channel Settings window.

  

• The Inserts section in the Inspector.

  

• The Inserts section on the Channel tab.

  

Send Effects

Send effects can be added to FX channel tracks, and the audio data to be processed can be routed to the effect. This way, the send effects remain outside the audio channel’s signal path.

Each audio channel has 4 sends, each of which can be freely routed to an effect (or to a chain of effects).

Use send effects in the following cases:

• To control the balance between the dry and the wet sound individually for each channel.

• To use the same effect for several different audio channels.

To edit send effects, you can use the following sends sections:

• The Sends section in the MixConsole.

  

• The Destinations section in the Channel Settings window.

  

• The Sends section in the Inspector.

  

• The Sends section on the Channel tab.
