+ Inserts 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 Insert
+ send(s), and connecting the remainder of the channel strip to the
+ Insert return(s), both of which are JACK ports which are
+ visible to other JACK applications.
+ Inserts are the JACK equivalents of normalized switching jacks on an
+ analog console.
+
+ 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. +
++ To disable (bypass) an insert, click on its LED in the processor box. +
++ When you create an insert, the signal will be interrupted until you make + the relevant connections to the insert ports! +
++ Inserts will incur an additional JACK period of latency, which can be + measured and compensated for during mixing, but not during tracking! +
