Plug-In Inserts : Insert Formats
 
Insert Formats
Mono Inserts
Used on mono tracks. Inserts that occur on a track after a stereo insert are automatically used in stereo as well.
Stereo Inserts
Used on stereo tracks. A stereo hardware I/O insert sends the signal to an input/output path.
Mono In/Stereo Out Plug-In Inserts
Used to return a stereo effect from a mono source. Certain plug-ins (such as D-Verb) let you generate stereo output from a mono channel. A track made into stereo in this way has panning controls for each channel of the stereo signal. Any inserts that occur on a track after a stereo insert are automatically used in stereo as well.
Multi-Mono Plug-In Inserts
Used on stereo tracks when a multichannel version of the plug-in is not available. Controls for all channels are linked by default so that you can adjust them in tandem. You can unlink controls for independent adjustment using the Master Link button. See “Linking and Unlinking Controls on Multi-Mono Plug-Ins” on page 654.
*Relinking may cause automation to be lost. See “Linking and Unlinking Controls on Multi-Mono Plug-Ins” on page 654.
