But if you do it on a return you have more control over the volume level of both signals.

this won't apply to most people, but they can also be used for submixes e.g. monitor sends for live musicians.

A: FEEDBACK!!!!

Enable the sends to themselves and create an effects feedback matrix where, say, a delay feeds into a reverb which then feeds into a beat repeat which then feeds an auto filter which then feeds into... yup... Whatever you first had. Bung a few limiters in strategic places so that things don't go thermonuclear too quickly, sit back and enjoy the results!!

(Those Jamaicans were on to something)

This sounds interesting however I'm not fully sure how to set it up.

Could anyone explain how I would set up this "feedback matrix" and "enable the send to themselves" please?

Cheers

You can get some neat things if you chuck a looper on the return.
