Hi All,
I am fumbling my way through the setup of my new patchbays. I picked up 2 x ART P48. They seem like good units although I am confused about the ability to disconnect the rear connection between pairs. I wil ltry to explain in more details. The pactchbay says it support Fully Normaled & Half Normaled, I understand the differnce but figure that if I hook gear up vertically by ajacent I will have a feedback loop permanately regardless of the mode I am in. Essentially the outs of the COMP will feed the ins unless no matter what. There must be away to disconnect or have a no normalization mode so this does not happen. I know that if I plug in patchcables on the front I will break the connection and that is fine but when I have nothing plugged in then this is a problem.
For example:
---1------2---
OUTS COMP EQ
INS COMP EQ
This would not be a problem if I have differnt gear in the pairs such as:
---1------2---
OUTS COMP EQ
INS EQ COMP
I am just afraid of damaging equuipment and I do not want to have to try and patch outs to in for all gear or else I am limited the flexibility of the patchbay.
Perhaps I am missing the concept here, I am a bit confused and after reading and watching a few vids I still struggle to come up with optimal organization of my patchbays. I have about 7 peieces of outboard effects / processing gear and a mixing console with 16 ins, audio interface with 8 ins / outs and 6 different synth / sampler workstations and a Big Knob for monitor control and monitoring. It is all gettign a bit overwhelming.
Any suggestion or approaches to organizing and plannign will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
