Its a bit confusing for me |
No..
The insert is on the line in. The second in runs through the cue buss not to the fader. So you only have one insert per channel (on the fader main input) for a total of 8. If you daisy chain your processors then you can have a limiter to a comp to and eq if you want as long as it only arrives at the return once. By bringing the second set you go through cue... You could however inline a compressor on the way to the board in the second input on the channel. There is also a stereo insert on the mains output.
The fact that there are two ways into a channel is amazing in itself especially as there is no loss of signal ..It is still full of head room.
A little mixer with 10 channels of processor inserts is pretty adequate I would think. Like I said if you want more, just put them in line instead inserted. The limitation is that there are not 8 busses as on bigger boards...where you can send groups of audio to a compressor for group or parallel compression.
