+<p>
+  <dfn>Inserts</dfn> are signal tap points that can be placed anywhere
+  inside a channel strip. Unlike Auxes, they will interrupt the signal flow,
+  feeding the signal from before the insert point to its <dfn>Insert
+  send(s)</dfn>, and connecting the remainder of the channel strip to the
+  <dfn>Insert return(s)</dfn>, both of which are JACK ports which are
+  visible to other JACK applications.<br />
+  Inserts are the JACK equivalents of normalized switching jacks on an 
+  analog console.
+</p>
+<p>
+  An insert allows you 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 your channel strip, such as a vintage
+  compressor, tube equalizer, etc. In the latter case, you would first
+  connect your inserts to a pair of hardware ports, which are in turn
+  connected to the outboard gear.
+</p>
+<p>
+  To disable (bypass) an insert, click on its LED in the processor box.
+</p>
+<p class="note">
+  When you create an insert, the signal will be interrupted until you make
+  the relevant connections to the insert ports!
+</p>
+<p class="note">
+  Inserts will incur an additional JACK period of latency, which can be
+  measured and compensated for during mixing, but not during tracking!
