When you’re getting started with Pro Tools, or any DAW for that matter, the whole idea of inserts and sends can be a bit confusing. If you’re a bit hazy on what these do (and the differences between them), this video should help.
Thanks to Jon, one of my readers, for asking me to cover this!
What are some tricks you’ve come up with with your inserts or sends? Leave a comment for the rest of us!

Hi Joe,
love the site! what a great find! I havea question with regard to setting up Reason (4) and using it within my protools setup.Specifically with regard to recording the midi to track. I think i’m doing it right but would really appreaciate some confirmation/tips.
I’m also after losing the ability to stop and start anywhere within a protools session for dropping in/recording which i used to have? I seem to always be sent back to the start of the track?! Have I unwittingly clicked on something or is this a by product of the midi element? I seem to have the issue on basic live instrument only template also though…which is why i think i might have clicked on an option unknowingly?!
I’m currently on 7.1.1 i think it is ( possibly 7.1.3) can’t quite remember and am in work at the minute!!!
Many thanks and I hope you can help me out I think i might become an active contributor as it’s a great site and you really make stuff clear!!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

Hi Barry. I’m afraid I’m not sure what the problem/solution is. I’m sorry!
no prob worked it out! the start/End was set to way back (30 bars) so
i put it back to 1 and that solved the issue!
As for Reason Plug-in. Any help you might have/ tricks etc would be greatly appreciated!
keep up the good work!

Thanks Baz. I’m not a big Reason user, but I’ll keep that in mind for the future.
