      It's not just the best video about patchbays; it's actually the only good one. Espen would have been a great teacher (and I do know because I am one).

      Thanks! I've worked as a teacher on/off ever since I started out in music. It's always ups and downs as independent and different jobs along the way is very common. Teaching is great fun and I've learned a lot that I hope comes through in my videos, at least the videos where I actually try to teach something. ;-)

    Out of all the wasted videos people have made about patchbays that teach you nothing, this is literally the only video that actually teaches you step by step wth a patchbay is and what it does. Thank you so much for the frickin common sense when teaching people who have no idea where to start in regards to patchbays. I was this person a year ago and had to pay someone to show me how to use one because not a single video shows you how to use one. Your awesome.

    I’ve been struggling with the patch bay concept for years. NOT having a patch bay to route synths through various outboard effects has definitely stifled creativity as I simply can’t be bothered to re route all the cables! Cue the patch bay and a note pad to plan the set up of destiny. Thanks as always for a comprehensive tutorial.

    This is the only video so far that makes sense!!

    Thank you, Espen! I am at the point of setting up my patchbays in my hybrid studio( Sampson S-Patch Plus). These are nice patchbays, as they have switches on the front side to easily change between normal, half-normal and thru modes. I was having difficulty figuring out the best configuration. This video will help me organize my workflow much better. I'm looking forward to the ten-fold payback in time, which I think will definitely happen.

      You actually shouldn't do this because there is a risk that you can damage equipment because there is no summing hardware. Half normalling should only really be used to split a signal, not merge them.

    Patch bays, the secret of an efficient studio setup! I don't have much outboard gear but used to end up with a complete mess of wires trying to use my effects units on different instruments. I eventually learned what the "inserts" on my mixer were actually for, but it was still a pain to patch things in as the sockets weren't easy to get to. Then I got given a patch bay by a friend who was moving to a completely software based setup. Complete game changer once I got my head around the "normalling" concepts.

    I have a full rackmount hardware setup, and I don't know if I would even still be using hardware if it wasn't for setting up a patchbay. Just the samplers and synth take up 20 points on the patchbay (though I have it so each point is two outputs of my gear, cause I am kinda cheap an' don't wanna spend more that I have to right now, so actually all my synths add up to 40 outputs). Really just an absolute life and time saver, I feel bad for those who don't use them...I understand why some might not though...even cheap pre-made cables can get really really expensive when you need so many

    What I think would be helpful is, that by hooking up the output of the Mic....which is OFTEN Channel 1 on a mixer....is plugged into the back upper right...and Channel 2 is the second....so that whether you're looking at the mixer, or looking at the front of the patch bay...the Mic is still the upper left. Consistent. I may even insist on Guitar being Channel 4, Bass Guitar Channel 6 and Drums starting with Channel 8 (for instance) Of course, it makes it much easier if you have a lot of channels and you can designate a certain channel to a certain instrument...(for example, snare drum is always Channel 9).

    Hi Espen. Excellent explanation of the different normalling modes for patchbays. What I would like to know is having looked at your 4 patchbays in the rack with various pieces of equipment connected at the back of the patchbays, which modes are you using for the different pieces of gear, I noticed the pedal compressor had the input and output connected to 2 adjacent connections to avoid the input and output of the compressor being normalled but the stereo compressor is connected to the same 2 inputs and outputs which I assume is in the thru mode. It would be great if you could talk again about the 4 patchbays but maybe mention the the different normalling modes you used for the various pieces of gear. I'm building my home studio using a couple of 16 channel analogue mixers linked together along with some old Alesis 3630 and DBX compressors,exciters and reverb units and my recent purchase of the Audient EVO16 and 2 SP8 Preamps. Kind Regards. Alan

      This setup is now long gone so I can't make any more videos about that particular configuration.

      Hi Espen. Thanks for the prompt reply. I am planning to buy a coupe of Samson Patchbays which have selectable modes on the front of the unit so I can try out some of your suggestions and see what works best for my setup.@@EspenKraft

    thanks for shared your set up. I have one question; why dont have a patch panel TT bantam?

    • @EspenKraft
      @EspenKraft  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Too expensive and as I flip gear all the time too complicated to tear down and setup.

    What a great video!!!! But could you please explain why you use trs instead of ts cables??

    • @EspenKraft
      @EspenKraft  ปีที่แล้ว

      It really does not matter. Unless you pick up hum or noise, which might or might not happen, using both ts and trs cables will work just fine in a home studio environment like this.

      @@EspenKraft maybe you could answer me one question: I have a Apollo x6 and a LA-610 preamp. What’s the best way to route these units in a patchbay if want to use input 1 on the Apollo for the UA preamp and sometimes for unison preamp included in the Apollo? Cause I need to switch between line input and mic input on the Apollo. Thanks

  • @SvintMvrcus

    Should I use all Trs cables ? It’s a bit confusing because synths usually have unbalanced outputs but everything else that I have (interface, outboard fx) has balanced inputs. All I have is ts cables though and they’ve worked fine but I’m about to set up my first patch bay and I’m seeing that it’s a bad idea to mix Trs and ts cables

    great video, in normal mode example.....would you always have the outs and ins of the compressor on different channel on patch bay?

    • @EspenKraft
      @EspenKraft  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! It would greatly depend on what I was using the compressor for.

      Every mum should learn about these things. Mums should have a patchbay in the kitchen to play around with while their making dinner for their husbands.
