Summary: Remove Pro Tools inserts and effects from an audio track by pressing the bypass button or actually holding the apple key and clicking on the insert to bypass it. Remove inserts and sends from any track with the click of a mouse in Pro Tools with these tips from an experienced music engineer in this free video.
"Removing inserts and sends is pretty simple. It's basically, you just go into each of the tracks that you want to remove and just clicking no insert. You could also take this and switch it to a separate or different insert that you'd like to use, pretty easily. Now you can also bypass this by pressing the bypass button or actually clicking the apple key and then pressing the thing too. You can move this just by dragging them, depending on what track it is and you can also turn them off like that. The sends is the same exact way. You can just turn off your sends by pressing no send or you could also, on your sends, you can also turn down the volume within your send window, which comes up as you press your send. So if I press the send, as long as my volume is down, the sends is not going to, it's nothing that's going to be sent to the auxiliary tracks. So it's basically being bypassed. There's also a mute on this and there's also a panning on this track right here."
