I know that inserts are usually used with dynamic processors such as gates and compressors but I'm not quite sure how to use them. When I plug into them I can't get any audio from the channel. Thanks

you need a "send and return" cable. itll be a single 1/4" TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) on one end and the TWO TS (Tip Sleeve) on the other

you plug the TRS end into the insert on your channel, then the SEND part (youll have to figure out which is which) goes into the input on your compressor or whatever, and the return goes on the output, completing the chain

if you dont have it right you wont get signal.

yup. and also, insert points can double as direct outs if you plug in a trs cable only half way into the socket.

for the newbies, what he means by:

1/4" TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve)

is a stereo 1/4 plug which connects to either a pair of patchbay normalised sockets (see 'PATCHBAYS R US' article in ARTICLES section), or it goes to a split pair of normal 1/;4 mono jacks or phono or whatever seperate plugs which you then plug into the IN/OUt of your processor unit - the tip is one channel, the ring is another, and the earth is common/shared
