Yes, basically for a home studio. I suspect I'll be proven wrong in time, but after an 'optimal' setup is determined, dealing with patch cords could be kept to a minimal unless I want to experiment, perhaps leading to another 'optimal' setup, ad infinitum. I'm hoping basic realtime routing can be done via the mixer's 2 (well, actually 4) aux sends and the Alt 3/4 buss, and one or two patch cords (he says with astonishing naivite)...perhaps too cumbersome for a live gig. I haven't finished hooking everything up yet, so can't say fer sher fer sher, but I've walked through a number of scenarios on paper it *seems* I won't have to deal with *too* many patch cord changes. I have only the one compressor, and that has more or less lived on a mic's channel insert, or right before the EDP in...I'm too lazy to wade through the mess of wires that existed in the back of the rack to change that around much. Now that I have the patchbay, I will have much more flexibility. The compressor is probably the one thing I'll not have normalled to anything else. One thing I have to say is that redesigning my rig has *really* made me see the necessity of documenting the design on paper first - dealing with over 20 stereo mixer inputs, over 10 outputs, 16 midi ins & outs, 96 jacks in the patch bay...what is balanced, what is not, what midi channel is that Nord listening on, what mixer channel is the VL1, how am I going to get that click track into my ear, that channel to the computer, etc. etc. I'll sigh a huge sigh when I can go back to makin' moozac! stephen --- "M.
