I'll be building a desk to house my new mixer and DAW (Midas Venice, 24 channel, HD192) and need to start laying out plans for patch bays, snakes, etc.
I've got some general questions:
1 - Some people use solderable patch bays rather than the plug/jack variety. Is the reason for this simply economy? Fewer plugs to buy?
2 - Getting mic lines to/from the recording room. Any advantages/disadvantages to using a snake & breakout box versus a bunch of individual cable runs going to a wall panel? Any issues with signal degradation using a snake? Any thing else to consider here?
