![]() You do NOT do this (select a normaled patch point) when you have the INs and OUTs of a device that is not normally returning it's signal back to itself like an effects loop would. But you only want to do this when patching an effects loop or insert points from a mixer or preamp. Once the effect has been patched IN and OUT the loop is now reconnected, only now the comp (or effect) is effecting the signal. The loop is only broken when you plug in a patch cable. The important part is that when using a patchbay this way, you have to keep the IN and OUT patchbay points NORMALED to mimik the closed loop that exists within the actual insert point on the mixer. I can do this by running a small patchcable from the insert point's send, lets say CH 1 from the DM (CH 9 OUT on the lower patchbay) to the dbx's in on it's left channel, (CH 19 IN on the upper patchbay), adjust as needed, then out of the dbx's ch1 (CH 19 OUT on upper) to the DM's CH1 return (CH 9 IN on lower patchbay). ![]() ![]() I do like to patch my kick and snare top through a dbx 166xl, for initial compression and some gating. ![]() I also really love the flexability of having the Analog card and the patchbays. I don't usually use all of them but I wanted to make the insert points available. ![]()
