I am having problems sending my audio signal through my patchbay and then into my preamp. My setup is as follows:
I have a stage snake in the live room that runs into the control room. The cables on the end of the snake are connected to an XLR-TRS cable, which is plugged into the back of my NADY 1/4 patchbay. The normalled signal is routed out of the patchbay to the mixer, again using TRS-XLR cables.
In a second patchbay, I have my PreSonus Blue Tube outputs routed to that patchbay, not the inputs because the inputs are on the front of the Blue Tube preamp.
The problem I'm running into is when I route the signal through the patchbay to the preamp, then back into the patchbay to the mixer. The signal is lost at some point. The process on the patchbay is like so: a patch cable from the studio outputs to the input on the preamp, then a patch cable from the preamp output (on the patchbay) to the mixer input patch channel.
When I do this, the signal is lost. Currently, I have to patch directly from the snake xlr to the input on the preamp...only then will the signal travel through the patchbay successfully to the mixer.
Is there a better way around this, or am I just being stupid in my connections? How do larger studios route their outboard gear to the patch bay to avoid this...
Thanks for the help
