Right my rack in the studio is getting pretty full and it's a pain to wheel it out and hook up what I need so I've decided to get a patchbay and do it all from the front. It's kinda killing my creativity and drive to have to have to do so much to just try something during a mix, often I don't bother using some of the hardware and just use plugins instead.
I've got a big desk here I barely use for the same reason, it's tons of hassle to get in behind it and hook it up to my interface so I'm gonna hook up 8 or so channels of this too so I can use it more easily. I really like the EQ on it and the pre's are nice too so it's a real shame it's not seeing much use.
Any advice and any pitfalls to watch out for? I've never set one up before so I'm just going on what I've read. As with everything, money is a factor so are the cheaper end of things worth investing in or will they harm the signal being passed through it?
