Patchbay question

[Ptownkid]

I read a whole whack of posts here and there's a lot of info that contradicts other info, so here's my question.

I have an alto patchB, it runs both balanced and unbalanced signals, i have all the ins and out of my compressors hooked to it right now. Is it safe to run my mics into my mixer w/phantom power and then in and out of the patchbay (to use the compressors) and then into my sound cards?

Thanks

Yes, because you will be coming out of the inserts or direct-outs of your mixer

That's what i figured, thanks a lot for clearing that up.
