Pro Tools lets you insert up to ten inserts (A–E and F–J) on each audio, Auxiliary Input, Master Fader, or Instrument track. Each insert can be either a software plug-in insert or a hardware insert, or an instrument plug-in (see Plug-In and Hardware Inserts).

Plug-Ins and hardware inserts route the signal from the track through the effect of your choice, and automatically return it to the same track.

Hardware inserts send and return the signal to corresponding input and output channels of an audio interface, which can be connected to outboard effects.

Some Instrument plug-ins (such as Transfuser) accept audio from the track input (letting you use them as processing plug-ins.

Inserts on audio, Auxiliary Input, and Instrument tracks are pre-fader.
