What do you use on the return channels?

Aside from time-based effects like reverb, delay.

I have put a compressor on it and maxed out the settings, then sent some of a track for serial compression.

What do you do thats different and unique?

I use Sends & Returns as busses out to multiple speakers

[rtopia]

when doing sound design for a single part - I use the sends in the returns (for the feedback loops)

My default set now has 2 reaktor reverbs (a hall and room), a reaktor spring reverb and a delay. So 4 returns. Theyre usually the things I need most, and I can set quick effects with them. I have the delay also routed slightly to the hall reverb.

Space Echo
Reverb
StutterEdit
a kick ducking compressor
a clean channel to toggle between StutterEdit and clean, OR ducking and clean.

For my liveset i have 3 returns. On the first i have a rack with 3 different FX. The signal flow is like: simple delay -> filter delay -> grain delay. Each of them can be switched on/off with a macro. On the second return there is a reverb and on the third is tha nastyDLA.
