Well it varies. Mostly in tracking, but in mixing on drum room mics. I just did a mix the other day and had a Culture Vulture on an aux send. Just mono with a mono return and I sent a bunhc of things to it. Some a little some a lot and somethings that were hard panned that got sent and returned up the center.

I track with a good amount of distortion and often have to add it when I'm mixing tracks that other people have recorded. I like bringing out some white noise on a snare. I've distorted reverb sends and returns. Vocals - usually in the cliched ways.
