Patchbay woes...

I certainly don't agree with the common wisdom.  It works if you have as much gear as you have mixer channels and you have a default setup that you always want to have, but it also hides what's going on behind the rack.  The entire point of a patch bay, in my opinion, is to bring those connections to one place up front and center where you can figure out what's going where just by looking at it.  I treat my rig very similarly to how I treat my modular synth so any default is going to end up highly modified anyway.

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 …

I can patch a modular synth no prob, but getting my head around ordering and setting up a patchbay, really makes it hurt :( 

Is it just me?

Also i’m dreading actually figuring out how many cables I need to have EVERYTHING hooked up.
