Connecting Patchbays and Mixer... what cables & wiring
I'd like to wire a 24-channel analog desk to a patchbay for outboard gear and then route it back to the desk.
I wish to record the signals dry during the tracking process but would like to mix OTB and use my outboard gear in conjunction with any plugins. I'd like to use some FX like reverbs just for monitoring purposes during the tracking process.

Alternative Insert Cables
This isn't so much a question as a story about what I've been up to the last few days. See, as recently as Sunday I ordered up an Alesis 3630. I gather the opinion of it is that it's fine until you want it to "crunch". We'll see how it stacks up with more cheap gear when it arrives. Exciting, really :)

Who's using Accusound Cables
Anyone using Accusound cable here?
Today is the first time I checked out the site. Made in the USA and claims to be a quality hybrid product that " electroplate 99.9 percent silver onto each stand of copper before it’s wound". Its one of the last things I need for my studio . Please share any experience.

Coaxial Cable
Called coaxial because the cable includes one physical channel that carries the signal, surrounded by another concentric channel, both running along the same axis, but separated by insulation. They are used for high frequency transmission of telephone, television and audio signals. Coaxial cable was invented in 1929 and first used commercially in 1941.

Cable Loss
The inherent loss of coaxial RF cables due to conductor resistances, absorptive losses in the insulating material and signal leakage between the braids of the outer shield.

Phantom power and a TS cable
This seems like a very simple question but I haven't found a conclusive answer. I have an audio interface with those Neutrik combination XLR/TRS/TS jacks. I need to have phantom power on and I need to record from an unbalanced line-level source. I will send that unbalanced source into one of those Neutrik jacks with a TS cable.

Y Cable
A cable used to split or combine two signals. Another use is to send a signal out of one side of the "Y" and return through the other, as when patching into an insert point of a console. There are occasions where "Y" cables should not, or cannot be used. One is for MIDI. It is impossible to combine two channels of MIDI using a "Y" cable.
