7 <dfn>Inserts</dfn> are signal tap points that can be placed anywhere
8 inside a channel strip. Unlike Auxes, they will interrupt the signal flow,
9 feeding the signal from before the insert point to its <dfn>Insert
10 send(s)</dfn>, and connecting the remainder of the channel strip to the
11 <dfn>Insert return(s)</dfn>, both of which are JACK ports which are
12 visible to other JACK applications.<br />
13 Inserts are the JACK equivalents of normalized switching jacks on an
17 An insert allows you to either use a special external DSP JACK
18 application that is not available as a plugin, or to splice an external
19 analog piece of gear into your channel strip, such as a vintage
20 compressor, tube equalizer, etc. In the latter case, you would first
21 connect your inserts to a pair of hardware ports, which are in turn
22 connected to the outboard gear.
25 To disable (bypass) an insert, click on its LED in the processor box.
28 When you create an insert, the signal will be interrupted until you make
29 the relevant connections to the insert ports!
32 Inserts will incur an additional JACK period of latency, which can be
33 measured and compensated for during mixing, but not during tracking!
