help with patchbays

[faperrigo]

I'm a newbie when it comes to multitrack recording. How do I use a patch bay to route live mics to a recording mixer and to my Korg 12 track recorder?

You don't, you use a patch bay to have access to multiple outboard gear (ie: compressors, eq's, effects, and sometimes preamps)
You should just go mixer to Korg

You don't...

Mics > Mixer > Recorder

yea, it's not really for mics. It's more for the lineouts from your mic pres, or the direct outs from your mixers, and external line level gear...
