For computationally intensive effects such as reverb, it’s always advisable to insert them
into an aux channel strip. Chorus, Flanger, and delay effects should also be inserted into
an aux, if they are going to be used on more than one track.
In some cases, however, it may make musical sense to patch an effect such as a delay or
chorus directly into the Insert slot of an individual channel strip. This allows you to use
precise settings, and colors, on individual elements of your mix.
The golden rule is that you should use whatever sounds right in your mix. There are no
restrictions as to where effects can be used in Logic Express.
