+ Please note that we didnt draw the ground/screen connection in the following graphics to
keep them as simple as possible.
+ If you want to insert an external EQ or dynamics processor post-EQ, a subgroup insert should
be used as follows:

In this arrangement you might find that compression tends to soften the perceived amount of (especially treble)
EQ applied. The solution here is to apply more EQ. This creates a real pressure sound, great for high energy
music such as dance.
In the above example, any aux sends to effects should be applied before the EQ/dynamics processing takes
place. If you want the aux sends to be post-processing, you will need to address the signal to one of the
subgroups and then insert the EQ/dynamics processor between the corresponding subgroup output (insert
send) and a channel input (insert return). You can now reclaim the channel 2 input as follows: By applying the
channels insert send you can route out an instruments signal being plugged into the line input, treat it with an
EQ/dynamics processor, and then reroute it via a subgroup (insert return) to the master section. An additional
patch enables channel EQ to be placed onto a subgroup without reducing the number of line inputs available:
