Inserts
Pro Tools | First lets you insert up to four plug-ins on each audio, Auxiliary Input, Master Fader, or Instrument track.
Inserts provide the following features:
• Plug-Ins inserts route the signal from the track through the effect of your choice, and automatically return it to the same track.
• Some Instrument plug-ins accept audio from the track input (letting you use them as processing plug-ins).
• Inserts on audio, Auxiliary Input, and Instrument tracks are pre-fader.
• Inserts on Master Faders are post-fader.
• Inserts can be bypassed or made inactive.
• Most plug-in controls are fully automatable.
