I have 3 mono tracks
I need to add reverb , EQ , Compressor
Each will have different values so does that mean I have to add 3 Aux track for each audio track ?
That is a lot
For each plugin I need to add an AUX track?

It sounds as if you will need to use INSERTS, not Aux Tracks... especially in the case of EQ and Compressors. You may be able to use an Aux Track for a Reverb and then just use Aux SENDS on each track to adjust the amount of Reverb.harmonicaman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 12:47 am I have 3 mono tracks

OK thanks so what you are saying ( I do not know about DAW terms ) . I think you mean by insert use for example EQ and compressor on that specific track while you use an Aux track for time based plugins like revert and delay . Did I understand you correctly ? That is what you mean by the word insert ?James Steele wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:39 amIt sounds as if you will need to use INSERTS, not Aux Tracks... especially in the case of EQ and Compressors.

Inserts are DP's way of putting FX "units" into the channel. (Even aux channels).
In the mixer window, in the upper section of each channel, you'll see little empty rectangles. Those are the insert slots. They go in series from top to bottom so the output of the track feeds the first insert, and the output of the first insert FX feeds the 2nd. The output of the last insert is what you are controlling with the fader. Clicking on one of those insert "blanks" brings up a plugin picker.
It's typical (and a good idea) to have inserts your track/channel such that each has a dedicated EQ and even compression (if needed).
When you want to feed the output of more than one channel into an effect (This is called a "send effect" as opposed to an insert effect) you use a combination of the aux sends on the each channel (any of which can be assigned to various outputs and buses) along with an aux track which will "host" the reverb (as an insert on that aux track). Now you feed a little (or a lot) of each track to what ever the input of that aux track is set to.
