Patchbay woes...

[Tony Scharf]

My advice?  De-normal everything. Decide on a standard of outputs on top/inputs on bottom and stick with it even if it means leaving channels unused.  Keep a spreadsheet of all the connections, and keep it updated.  Multi-channel snakes are your friend.  I don't know why, but everything seems to have 8 jacks on it.  

Oh, and don't hook up everything unless you really will use it.
