Patchbay woes...

[Rom MUSIC BAR]

I remember talking with Joost about Pachtbay …
Far as i know in theory “A patch bay is well configured if it has nothing patched on the front … “ 
if you have a cable patched  on the front it s just to redirect the signal to something else than your default routing …

I m using a patch bay with adat 8000 and sound card (8in/out)

I tried to set it in a kind of  logical way ( also using sticker can be useful to know what is what) ..
See below, maybe my drawing will inspire you :)





-From TOP at the back  1 to 8  I plugged the instruments i mostly used then they are routed  in // to the Bottom  from 1 to 8  which are routed  to my input sound card (rme). 
-From TOP at the back  13 to 20 I plugged the instruments i mostly used then they are routed  in // to the Bottom  from 13 to 20  which are routed  to the Adat in 
-From TOP at the back 9 to 12 I plugged 4 outputs from the sound card ( nb: 9 and 10 are routed // to the bottom 9 and 10 )
-From TOP at the back from 21 to 24 I plugged 4 outputs from Adat out
-From Bottom at the back  9 and 10 are routed to minidisk in  ( yes i still have a minidisk :-) 
-From Bottom at the back 23 is routed to my Guitar  pedal fx
-From Bottom at the back 24 is routed to my guitar rack   fx

nb:  Bottom 11, 12, 21, 22 : I don’t used …
