Always thankful to rewatch this patchbay tutorial!!! As he makes it easy to understand, Sweetwater has the Behringer PX 3000 patch bay right now for $59.00 !!!!
Even six years later his video is still brilliant, I am actually a couple of months away from graduating univeristy for music production and recording engineering we get taught how to use all the amazing equipment and gear, but not so much how to install them and set it all up so this is amazing thanks for this!
This is possibly the best video on the subject. It's actually a really simple concept, yet strangely enough extremely confusing and non-intuitive. You taking the time to slowly, carefully and demonstrating not with a diagram but actually holding the thing in your hand and using plugs to illustrate REALLY helps it 'click.' Thanks for that!
You cleared up some important questions I had about how to use my patch bay. I happen to have the Behringer 3000 so I could follow along easily. Thanks so much for a true clear explanation.
So good! Thanks a million for the explanation. We just purchased the PX 3000 for our live/rehearsal rack and I had a lot of questions. You answered them all. Thanks again!
I picked up a PX-3000 about 3 weeks before I watched this video. Thank you. Picked up some additional insight in how to use the unit in my studio. I knew I needed one ;)
this guy is the best when it comes to these videos, he really takes the time to explain, what ever the discussion is for that particular hard or software....
I've been using a patchbay for some time now and i still learned something from your video,well explained and outlined,simple to understand.....Thanks Man.
Very helpful I'm about to buy the Behringer 3000. Your Video ensured me this patch would do what I want. Thanks for the hint to the importance of planning the cabling of my devices. Don't know yet if I will have a question. But in case I now know where to ask. Thanks for your great work Don't apologize for sound quality. I've got every word. So quality was sufficient for information transport Have a free and healthy hearted life
Thank you, man!!! I watched 3 or 4 different videos and they all assumed I too much!! Your video was straight forward and really helped me understand how to set up my patchbay properly. Cheers
Wow. Not to sound stupid. But you just educated me on something I didn't think of doing. With patch bay. Thank you and I'm supprise that never came across my feed. Thanks again and keep up the great knowledge you are sharing. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much - your video is an excellent help - most videos talk about the three different ways to patch gear, but you actually show examples of different patches, from the back and the front, AND good examples of which patches should be used for what gear...AWESOME!!!
Today, I finally got a patch bay. (Two of them actually, NYS-SPP-L1.) I don't know why I thought you would want to know that but this is a video that peaked my interest several years ago. Cheers!
Thanks Vatche, awesome information, I've had my FCA610 packed away for a few years, now i need it again but could not remember how the hell to use it, so these videos saved my day :) Also, there is another piece of important info missing from the quick start guide: when i purchased my FCA610 it was in fire wire mode and there was no instruction on how to change to USB mode, but i finally found out that you have to press and hold the digital select button down, then power up the unit until you get the blue light indicator showing. very frustrating, hope this helps others! PEACE :)
great presentations using clear language and live products/devices as props. Can you provide links to your patch bay set up eg the written schedule and annotated line drawing. Thanks PS: Recording Studio 9 is the first UA-cam channel I have subscribed to to learn about music production. Well done Sir, keep the good work going
Thanks for subscribing. as to the paper, I just got an image from google of the patch bay front panel, then added a table grid to match the number of inputs and outputs and filled them with the correct text.
Adam from Realhomerecording suggested this on his live chat. After searching the net. I found you. Thanks for the video. I'm still a bit confused but I'll re-watch your video a few more times.
+Jose Sanchez Thanks. I now have it setup for few months, and wonder how I did without it before! Since I'm always testing and trying our other gear, it makes it really easy to patch things into my system without unplugging gear. Once I'm done, just unplug from the patch and the system is back to my original setup.
Hi, this video is awesome in my humble point of view. It gave me a lot (of fun, understanding) and I hope you've been sponsored by Behringer. Why do I talk about awesomenes? Because your way of explaning is that much of unselfish - an outstanding example! Lightshining regards, Dirch
+Dirk Reimers Thanks for the great feedback. Much appreciated. I have no connection or any sponsorship by anyone, nor would I want one, as I like to freely give my personal opinion on a product with no ties. If the product is good, I say it is good, if it is crap, then it is crap. Normally I research before I purchase, so I don't have many crap gear :) Glad my videos are helpful.
How difficult could it be to explain how a patchbay work by holding a patchbay and actually connect cables to different configurations and explain how the signal comes through?? Amongst all the youtube videos I clicked on regarding patchbays (it's a lot!), this is the only one I've found that actually explain to me how I could use a patchbay. Thanks for a great video, and congratulations for being (probably) the only one explaining how the rear and front sockets are connected to each other! :-)
Thanks for the feedback. Most times, the unit is installed and in an active working state, and it's a lot of work to disassemble for demonstration, so I do understand. I did mine when I was still setting my new purchase. A new and in further detail video on Patch-Bays coming soon.
Excellent Video thanks! Just got a PX3000 and trying to get my head around the best set up for my home studio. Did you make that template (where you planned your connections yourself, or is it available from Behringer? Nice work. Cheers!
Thanks for watching. The template is just a simple spreadsheet (google) with some columns and rows. Pause the video to see it. Lot of people use small stickers on the actual unit as well, to identify.
It’s good to know patch bay useful connection. More to study. In live sound using patch bay. Can you pls provide more connection for individual effect going FOH, crossover with separate subwoofer from full range speaker.
great tutorial ...It was a big help for me in setting up my patchbay and understanding the functionality of my patchbay. thank you...On another note. ....What are those cables that you are using in the tutorial? the patch cables.
You are most welcome. They are called patch leads, and come in 2 different types and lengths. TR (unbalanced) or TRS (Balanced), 30cm, 60cm or 90cm, in various colour packs.
The audio from 1:55 to 4:05 has high pitched noise. My apologies. The rest is clear.

Hmmm, I don't know why UA-cam drew a line through part of my comment, but it is an excellent help.Thanks again.
+Jim in Cornwall
Maybe because I had a cold at the time and my voice not great, so UA-cam does not want to rate it "excellent" LOL!
Adam from Realhomerecording suggested this on his live chat. After searching the net. I found you. Thanks for the video. I'm still a bit confused but I'll re-watch your video a few more times.
Tell me what you are planning to do and I'll see if I can help you better understand Patch Bays.
