kilo's written up a good article on mixing under "mixers and mixing." have a look see up there.

I use mine combined with a distorsion rack for my kicks.
Works great : really different from the aux/sends.

So what am I saying?
Aux sends can have a stronger signal but you'll get more noise with the signal because the it runs through the eq and other circuitry before it is sent out.
The insert just breaks the signal after the gain/trim adjustment. This break allows you to send the signal to outboard gear like compressors, eq's, pitch correctors, limiters, etc. which will effect the entire signal. And then you can use the aux sends to effect the signal even more.
Btw, don't use the fx returns on your mixer to return the signal from the effects processors. Use one of your stereo channel strips.

Why?
Message 13/14 13-Nov-99 @ 11:39 AM - RE: Insert here?
now you have two leads with a monojack on one end. take the stereoyack.solder from each of the two leads the mass wires to the one mass of the stereoyack.now solder one of the tipleads of the monoyacks two the ring of the stereoyack and the other to the tip of the stereo yack.
when you are done you have produced a
Y-cable.if you put the stereo yack in to the insert socket you interupt the signal,coming from the gain of that channel.one of the two monoyacks is now
the insert-send, and one is the insert-return.find out what is what and now you can connect the two monoyacks to the apropriet sockets on ,lets say a fx-processor's in and output.the signal coming from the gain is nolonger interupted,and you will have the same signal as before,except for the fact that it has fx added,only on that one channel.but it also could be a compressor or a expander,finalizer or big bottom... whatever.i hope you understand my explanation.it is real simple once you understand.

Use your stereo returns for the main outs of romplers/samplers that have their own internal effects and eq (1080/Trinity/A3000/etc.)
By using the stereo channels to return the outboard fx processors, you'll be able to eq the returned effect, and also send the effect to another outboard fx or itself via another aux send.
Experiment with this senario:
1. Set up a delay that has an 1/8th or 1/4 beat delay time and no feedback..
2. Send a vocal hit/sound to the delay only once.
3. Use the aux send on the Delay's "stereo channel return" to send the delayed signal (vocal) back to the delay.
Experiment with the amount of signal you feed back to the delay, and listen to how the sound (vocal) will slowly change and eventually become totally unrecognisable. This happens because the delay unit has to resample the signal everytime it is looped back.
