- When you create an insert, the signal will be interrupted until you make
- the relevant connections to the insert ports!
+<p>
+ An insert allows to either use a special external DSP JACK
+ application that is not available as a plugin, or to splice an external
+ analog piece of gear into a channel strip, such as a vintage
+ compressor, tube equalizer, etc. In the latter case, the inserts would first
+ be connected to a pair of hardware ports, which are in turn connected to the
+ outboard gear. This is done on the <kbd class="tab">Send/Output</kbd> and
+ <kbd class="tab">Return/Input</kbd> tabs of the <kbd class="window">Insert</kbd>
+ dialog respectively.
