FAT CABLE SALAD

Hello, I need help...I have been a multi instrumental musician for two decades but only recently started to venture into the personal studio realm.

I don't know what is the best way to hook up all this gear ( mostly midi ) to use with Logic 8.

I would really appreciate it someone would could provide a best plug-in set up for this gear when it comes to MIDI.

I use a Mac Pro running Logic 8 with various plug ins from IK multimedia, Native INstruments, Izotope, PSP etc.

here is the list of the gear with it's midi ins/out/thrus

RME Fireface (main unit) midi in/ out

Presonus Firepod (slave to Fireface) midi in/out

KORE 2 midi in/ out

PhatBoy midi in/out/thru

Alesis Trigger IO midi out (connected to roland V drums)

Emagic MT4 midi interface with 2 midi ins and 4 midi out's

Maudio Axiom49 midi keyboard midi in/out

(additional eq nord lead midi in out and studiologic sl161 midi in/out)

None of the gear is connected right now since I don;t know how to approach getting this hooked up. I only have maudio axiom 49 connected to fire-face midi in/outs that i use as midi controller in logic.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP

I know very little about MIDI - and how it hooks up. But I am pretty sure if you wanted to hook up more than two items it would go:

Item 1: MIDI OUT
Item 2: MIDI IN - then, MIDI OUT

then the last item would go:
Item X: MIDI IN - then, MIDI THRU

Please don't quote me on that - as I said, I have no experience with MIDI.

but check out this website:
