I don't know if this will explain it for you, but this is the manual for the Behringer PX2000 Ultrapatch. Manual (in PDF format)
It has descriptions and (limited) diagrams on how to set up a patchbay in a multitrack environment, which can be applied to most other patchbays.

I own the same Yamaha mixer, and I used the Inserts as Direct Outs of sorts, no return, just to gain additional mic inputs to my old setup. I do believe that an insert cable is unbalanced, but I don't have any definitive answer.
The only issue I could see with your setup would be the return...
Enough.

This is my first post here, so I might as well introduce myself. My name is Ben, and I own a small small studio. I've been into the world of recording since I was 14 (I'm older now, I guarantee), and I've been visiting this board for a few years. Now, onto business.
I am using a Soundcraft...
