It's almost too simple to need explanation. Plug equipment into analog I/O. Instanciate analog I/O insert. Watch levels: usually -18 dBFS = 0 dBVU. The only thing in that list that I could see being used as a mixing insert is the LA-2A. The Yamaha SPX could be used in send/return fashion. That's it. You're not going to mix through mic pres, however delicious.

Well said. Try to think of your audio signal as water that flows from place to place(preamp to 192, to Pro Tools session, and back out thru 192 to monitor controller......)

If you want a lot of detail, perhaps the PT 9 Reference Guide will be of help:
