Effect as insert or send - dry/wet send channel

[Jeroen]

Just a short question. A lot of effects and presents have dry/wet settings like reverb, and the presets work out fine on insert effects. Do people use 100% wet effects on send channels? It seems a bit weird that if you apply the same effect on a send channel it actually starts to work as a normal volume booster if it has a dry/wet setting?

Work a bit isolated, so not sure whether there is a "best practice"

Personally, if it goes on a send then I set it completely wet. I don't really see the point of doing it any other way - as you say, it just becomes a volume booster otherwise.

I'd assume that most of the time, the dry/wet setting is mainly there for use when used as an insert.

Thanks for the feedback, and indeed this seems to make sense to you, not just me

It's pretty much standard practice to set any FX device on a Return Channel to 100%. So yes, your thinking on this is completely in line with common studio / producing approaches.
