![]() The 4 stereo effects returns are defaulted to be the returns of FX Racks 1-4 and can not be changed.Ī Side-Chain Effect is like one of the following: With the X32, we have 4 stereo effects returns (which can be changed to 8 mono for advanced routing). The return of the effect would then go to an Effects Return and then be blended into the mix using the Effects Return fader. When working with analog consoles, you would send audio either out of a direct out of an individual channel, or you would use a mixbus to add multiple channels into that effects send. These are going to be used to fatten up the signal and give another cherry on the top or some more frosting on the cupcake, but not completely replace the cupcake! Typically you would use this for Reverb, Delay, Chorus, and Flanger. However, with this type effect, you want to add it as an addition to the original signal. Very much like the Insert Effect, a Side-Chain Effect still needs a signal path of audio. Effect Modelers (like the Stereo Guitar Amp and Stereo Tube Stage).Graphic Equalizers (like the GEQ and TruEQ).Equalizers (like the XTEC EQ1 and XTEC EQ5).Any Compressor (like the Leisure Compressor, Fair Compressor, and Ultimo Compressor).When we are working in the digital world, we are doing the same thing as the analog signal path, just we are doing it without physical cables.Īn Insert Effect is like one of the following: You would then need to route the signal to the effects unit, then the output of the effects unit would go BACK into the Insert Return of the console, thus returning the signal. Plugging into these jacks would literally interrupt the audio path, send audio out of the Insert Send jack. When working with analog consoles, you would need to grab a physical cable and use the Insert Send and Insert Return jacks on the back of the console. This is an effect where you want to process the ENTIRE signal and you do not want to hear any of the original signal, only the processed signal. There are two categories of effects that the X32 gives us access to, ‘Side-Chain’ and ‘Insert.’ There is a big difference between the two, so let’s jump in and take a look.Īn insert effect is just what it sounds like, it is “inserted” into the audio path of a channel or bus. Not only does it allow us to add some pretty neat effects, but it gives us access to some very valuable tools like compressors, DeEssers and graphic equalizers. ![]() The Behringer X32 effects section is a very important part of the X32. Today we are going to be looking at how to insert an effect on the Behringer X32. Welcome to my Behringer X32 FX Series tutorials.
