Need help, don't know what the dif is.

What is the difference between inert effects in Cubase and send effects in Cubase other than you can get away with using less CPU. I also am aware that you can eq the plug with send and also controll how much is added much like an aux bus on a hardware mixing board.

But what is the difference in the way the signal is processed?
 
If these terms are standard then a send will "send" a track to a buss in which you can have multiple tracks running off the same effect.
 
Send's are usually used for reverb or something like that. An exmaple would be a drumkit. If you wanted to run all the pieces of your drumkit through the same reverb you could set up a send that goes to a bus with reverb on it instead of inserting the effect on every single track.
 
Sorry I didn't clarify:

I know there use, I was just wondering what the difference in signal chain is.

Seems like a send would be: track-send buss-masterbus right?

What would insert be? Just track with applied effect to master bus?

this is what I don't get.

Sorry for not being clear :)

Yes...except for you don't "have" to have things go to a master-bus
