Hello. I'm new to home recording and trying to organize my gear. Does anyone have suggestions on how to best utilize a patch bay? I get the concept but am having trouble determining the best way to run gear through my patch bay. Normalled,half normalled etc etc. I'll be using a 2 channel compressor, 2channel eq, several effects including an old Yamaha spx90, POD XT, drum machine and assorted microphones. I'll be recording on a Fostex VF160EX with 2 inserts.
