Recording Insert Effects

Sometimes you may want an effect to become a permanent part of the track so that, after recording, the effect processor can be used on a different track. This is called recording “wet,” which means recording with an effect. To do this, simply insert the effect in the Input Mixer instead of in the Track Mixer.

Summary: Using Insert Effects While Recording

To print an insert effect, insert it on the input.

To hear an insert effect while recording, but not have it print, insert it on the track.
