As far as I know: Plugins that modify the original sound and where you (possibly) don't want the original sound to be still there are put pre-fader, everything else post-fader. Classic setup seems to be: - pre-fader: Gates, Compressors, basicly any kind of dynamics, EQ's, Chorus/Flanger/etc, DeEsser, Denoiser, some delays, send to monitor - post-fader: (either as one effect per channel or send-to-bus) Reverb, Delay, some choruses... For example the Jamin-insert in my setup is always pre-fader in the master-channel... But there is an even bigger rule than the things listed above: If it sounds right, its right!
