Insert FX section
The channel strip Insert FX section allows you to add effect devices to be used as Insert Effects in the channel strip.
You add Insert effect devices to the Audio Track or Mix Channel device in the rack. Insert effects process the whole
channel signal, as opposed to Send effects where the effect is shared among all channels and the balance is individ-
ually adjustable for each channel. Typical insert effects are compression, distortion and modulation effects such as
chorus.
The Insert effects can be placed ahead of the Dynamics and EQ sections in the signal path, see “Signal Path section”.
• See “Insert FX” for descriptions of how to create and work with Insert effects.
