Well I have finished six months of weekend recording desk building and I need to wire up my yet unused Yamaha AW16G (switching from 4-track cassette).
I still get a little confused on the applications of normaled, 1/2 normaled and parallel patch bays.
I primarily record in the bedroom and do more intrumentals by myself with eveil drum machines than vocals but would like to work with some other artists and some groups - just to give you an idea of how I currently work.
To be wired in an efficient yet flexible way for recording and mixing to the AW16G.
Pre's: Joe Meek VC6Q and the VC3, M-Audio Tampa and DMP-3 and a Mackie 1604 I don't expect to use alot unless I mike a drum kit.
Some racked multi effects and compressors (1 FMR and 1 Composer Pro).
Various DI - Sans Amp pedals for guitar and bass plus a V-Amp and a Radial X reamp for electric guitar amp micing. I will also record some stereo mic acoutsic guitar.
One balanced 24 Neutrick patchbay with flipable cards.
One unbalanced 24 B patch bay with 4 way switchable routing.
One 8 chanel XLR snake I primarily expect to use for mics.
Plus most of the cabling I should need.
Since the AW16G allows each of the 16 channel inputs to be assinged to any of the 16 tracks (some are paired stereo) it should be fairly easy to normal most of the inputs...me head just starts spinning on trying to minimize the amount of cable path and minimize the amount of time crawling behiind and under things to repatch for new ideas and applications.
Any advice would be appreciated.
