The Insert Section is next in line. PatchMix DSP effects can be selected from the Effects 
Palette and dropped into the insert locations. 

. Any number of 

effects can be inserted in series.

The Inserts also have the unique ability to patch into ASIO/WAVE and external 
equipment. Special inserts, ASIO/WAVE Sends, External Sends and External Send/
Returns can be dropped into the insert section to route the signal anywhere you want.

f

You have to create an 

ASIO strip or ASIO Send in 
order to activate these 
ASIO channels in your 
software.

The Insert/Patch Bay is incredibly flexible. Want to send the strip to your audio recorder? 
Simply insert an ASIO send into the insert section and select the ASIO pair you want. 
That’s it! That input is available in your ASIO software. 

The following types of inserts can be selected.

Problem: You are not 

able to select analog 
return when using the 
Send/Return Inserts.

Reason: The 0404 
Digital Audio System only 
supports Stereo I/O in 
the Send/Return Insert 
section. The analog 
inputs on the 0404 are 
mono.

The Inserts are one of most powerful features of the PatchMix DSP system as they allow 
you to configure the mixer for a wide variety of applications.

Note: The Physical Output & Input option is “grayed-out” when using the default 
Session 

Reason: The 0404 Digital Audio System has only 4 physical inputs and 4 physical 
outputs. The Send/Return option is grayed-out because all the physical I/O resources 
available for send/return have been used in this Session. If S/PDIF I/O is not being used 
elsewhere, it becomes available in the Send/Return list.

Peak meters allow you to monitor the signal level anywhere in the 
chain.

You can insert a gain control with up to 30 dB of gain or attenuation. A 
peak level meter and phase inverter are also included.

This special insert outputs a calibrated sine wave or noise source, which 
can be used to track down audio problems.
