Protools ls patch

Patch numbers, not gear names. Thanks to my friend Steve Genewick for this one. Steve told me how at Capitol Studios in LA the patchbays of which there are a great many are not labelled with the name of the piece of gear but labelled with the patch line number.

This is because the gear in the commercial studios can change so often they would be forever re-printing the patchbay labels to keep up with the changes in equipment. By using patch cable numbers they can just mark the gear with its input I and output O cables to keep track of where it appears on the patchbay.

I have tried to employ this principle and you can see in the images below that my compressors are marked with their Input and Output patch number. If you have a fixed rig then you might prefer to do as Mike has done and label everything by equipment.

It's your choice. Keep records of your patchbay routing. It's all very well having all your gear linked to your patchbay but if you have no idea where it is linked to then it's no use to man or beast. I have a very simple system where I note the colour of the tails of the cables linked to the back of the patchbay.

I then note which patch numbers in banks of 8 it is linked to and the gear it is linked to. I will at some point get around to making this a little more "formal" but for now I know what is linked to where and with what type of connection.

This is my patchbay routing log book. The cable is named at the top of each page. The attached gear is listed next to each connection and the bracketed numbers are where it comes up on the Audient patchbay.
