I have a computer based studio and I want to add some analog rack equipment. I am running an alesis master control, with a firepod (for addional pres) with cubase le4.
I just added a yamaha rack eq , alesis compressor limiter, and a bbe sonic max. Also i have a 48 patch bay. Soooo how to hook all this new stuff up? I just want a straight throughput nomally, with the ability to patch in the eq, bbe and compressor when and where i need. HELP! anyone?

How to wire a patchbay.

well, still confused

I just dont see how to make use of a the patchbay to bridge the gap between the analog rack stuff and the ADC/interface. Is there a typical schematic somewhere?

Well...I mean, you don't really. Your interface will have analog ins and outs, which should be connected to the patch pay at the bottom and top respectively. You'd have your analog gear connected in the same way. Typically you'd take your pre-recorded track, route it out of the appropriate output, send it to the input of the compressor (for example), then out the output of the compressor and into an unused input in your DAW. You'd then have to record the new, compressed signal to that new track. That's that.
