Not using the first insert point

[Paul Maunder]

I've noticed a few times when I've been given others people's sessions to work on, that they often avoid putting plug-ins on the first insert point on a track. I'm sure there must be a reason for this, but I can't think of any possible benefit to doing this. Anyone know what the idea behind this practice is?

I think I´m doing this to keep the option of inserting something before the plugin if necessary. I know that in that case I could also push the plug to the next insertion point but it´s a subconcious thing I guess.
