    When recording – let’s say vocals – where do you put the effects for monitoring? Comp and maybe a verb. In the regular fx chain?

      compression on the individual tracks, reverb on a separate track.

        Great, just as regular effects. Thanks! I thought i read something about a specific ‘monitor chain’, but that must be something different. Thought that was for monitoring, so that the effects are not printed. I can imagine you would want your compression printed, but not your verb while recording.

          There is the Monitoring FX Chain that is global and used for meters, headphone and speaker calibration tools.
          The regular fx chain on a track doesn’t print the effect to the audio, but there is an Input chain for each track that would (I never use it).
