I currently record into a 488 8 track recorder. I record vocals, guitar, bass and keyboards either mic'd, mic'd through an amp, or via a POD or mic-preamp, or through guitar effects.
It's a hassle unplugging one instrument and plugging in a another. I sometimes route to the 488, or to headphones or to a power amp to the monitors.
Can I wire all this stuff into a patchbay? Could I have a jack for say the POD input and have 2 jacks that the POD out output is run into? I could then use a patch cord and go from the POD to track 1 or whatever of the mixer, or to the amp, or to the headphones etc. Can I do this? Will it work?
I've read up on patchbays here but it's all rather confusing.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you.
