I'd help you out there, but I, myself am new to the whole thing. |

The purpose of a patch bay is to ergonomically simplify the studio so that all (or most) audio connections can be accessed and rerouted from a single, easy-to-reach location. Ideally, once the patch bay is configured, you no longer have to crawl behind racks of gear to hook up a desired signal processor or preamp. The ability to make quick, easy connections reduces frustrating "find the hidden patch cord" assaults on your creative flow and can even inspire experimentation. (Want to see what it sounds like when you brutally compress the flanged reverb you've assigned to an effects return?) Furthermore, by providing extra points of entry into the signal path, a patch bay extends the functionality of your mixer and other gear. |

In live sound the term is sometimes interchanged with Stage Box so watch out for that

Just tried to download the link above about patch bays (just brought one but not really sure what to do with it!!!) but it doesn't work - anywhere else that I can get hold of the article?
Thanks

I have a PDF file of the Patchbay design that I'm working on for my studio project
<A HREF=http://www.audiocourses.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=885><B>Building a Commercial Studio from Scratch</B></A>
PM me if you want me to email it to you for reference or to see how a large patchbay might end up looking.
(Thanks to <B>AUdIoCoUrSeS</B> for helping me on this one!!)
I will likely put it online when the design is finalized if that will help people
