Recording through hardware inserts?

[roijin]

Q: If I place a hardware insert into a track I am recording, will the recorded sound be processed through the outboard as it gets recorded? If not how can I do this so it does. I am trying to avoid having to use a manual patching system with all my synth/sound sources as I record them into protools. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Track insterts are "after tape", so you're processing recorded signal, not recording processed. You have to use aux channel, insert your gear there and then route this to track - no patching necessary [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Hope this helps,
