Great Vid but I would like to make two points, Firstly I would never use send to vary the amount of effect (although it is possible that you might want one channel to have a little less effect than another), I would drive the effects unit to just below 0db and use the return to vary the amount. Secondly it needs mentioning that it's better to have only the effect or wet signal returned to the mixer as original or dry signal can cause problems when returned to the mix.
Do you have a direct out per channel? Or are you referring to the "in/out" AKA "channel insert"? Those are usaully wired for "tip,ring,sleeve" type plugs and used for sending the individual signal to it's own independent processor/EQ/compressor or whatever and then returning to the channel. It's like having an effects loop that only works on each indivdual channel. I would use the busses. Post some songs when you're finished and let me know. I'd like to hear some new original music. Peace
You can still use the insert to send to the multitrack. It will likely be pre-fader, so no problem accidentally bumping the fader while recording. The insert will also likely be pre-eq, so you can play with eq settings on the return. Unfortunately, the line will be unbalanced, and therefore a little noisier than balanced bus outputs.
Using buses to get to the multitrack instead, your fader and eq moves will be committed to the recording. That could be a bad thing or used to your advantage.
Great job explaining. It was a great help to me. Thank you

great tutorial!
the only thing i would have to say is that in live sound, the aux sends are primarily used for monitor mixes with mixes this size.

Could you send the Input of the Effects Return into an Effects Pedal and send that back to the mixer and work like normally?
