Insert effects are applied directly to an individual track, such as vocals or beats (e.g., EQ, compression, autotune). Use them when you want to change the sound or character of a specific track.
Send effects are used for spatial effects like reverb or delay, which you want to share across multiple tracks. You set up an AUX (bus) track with the effect and send the desired amount from each track. This is great for creating a sense of unity or atmosphere in your mix.
Key points:
- To directly change a track’s sound: use insert effects
- For sharing space/ambience across tracks: use send effects
