The audio from 1:55 to 4:05 has high pitched noise. My apologies. The rest is clear.

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.

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 ;)

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!

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....

your tutorials are great because you get down to the basic and use examples that are relevant without nonsense. Great stuff! You're a teacher! Mahalo!

Thank you! Finally someone that actually shows and not just talk about how it works! Now I feel I can use my patchbay without dmaging anything

I had a few eureka moments during the course of this video. Thanks for explaining things so clearly.

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.

WOW!!! The best explanation I have heard as to how a Patchbay works! Thank you so much!!!

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

I had no idea Jon turturro was into sound engineering. Good video man!

Thanks friend, I found it very valuable & comprehensive, keep up the good work !

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. 👍👍👍

This was the most informative video on the subject there is. Truly excellent and will be referenced again........Many thanks.

Best explanation of normal -vs- thru that I've heard. Thanks!

damn, now I think I get it, probably need to see this video a few more times. The manual had me scratching my head

The best tutorial that can be found online! Thanks mate.

Thank you this was really helpful. I watched through many patch bay videos and this was by far the clearest and most useful

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

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!!!

this is one of the best explanation I came across with in youtube. Finally I know how it works. Thank you

Very clear, and very easy to understand. Great tutorial! I now fully understand how patchbays work. Thanks!

Thank you for this. This is a great breakdown and easy to follow.

I have a PX2000 on the way; thank you so much for this video, you've helped me work out how to plan my studio setup properly!

Very well explained in a comprehensive manner. Thank you!

Great job! Thank-you so much for the clear explanation on the subject.

great tutorial thanks. wish i had seen this many years ago!

Excellent video, very informative 👍🏻

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!

this is the best patchbay explaination on KZfaq!!!!!

Smashing little explanation. Thanks very much!

Vatche , always a Great Presentation . Can see the Sparkle of excitement with a New Gadget ;) Very informative. Thank You .

Fantastic explanation, I have now bought a PX3000 now I understand it 👍

I've been looking for something like this. Great explanation of how patch bays work. Thanks for this brother!

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 :)

Excellent explanation. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

First thing that finally helped me out. Thank you so much for the thorough tutorial.

You did a great job! Very good explanations - you're a very good teacher. Thank you very much for this tutorial. Thumbs up!

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.

Wow! This was awesome and informative.

Very nice - thank you for your time. Made it all clear.

Thank you for taking the time of making this video!

Thanks for the ideas. This was very in-depth and insightful for me.

Very clear - thank you

3:16 “heavy” is usually a good sign (a sign of quality). GREAT video, thanks

Hmmm, I don't know why KZfaq drew a line through part of my comment, but it is an excellent help.Thanks again.

Another appreciated video! Thank you

great video ! im found px2000, i will rack it this week ! thanks for the explication !

Thank you! Great tutorial!

Hell yeah. I may need a patch bay.

Thank you Vatche was very clear and helpful

hi had to service my one, i open in i can tell you they are made a tank. very well made and will last for years

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

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! :-)

Very good . Thanks !

The best explanation around here! Good stuff!

thank you, well explained !

Thankyou! It is a long time since I used my PX3000 and this was an excellent refresher! great video! I have subscribed! good luck!

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 KZfaq channel I have subscribed to to learn about music production. Well done Sir, keep the good work going

Thanx Vatchi !

So helpful. Thanks bud

Very clear instructions. Thank You

i thought i was about to watch Starsky and Hutch with that intro music :D tight

Nice work. Useful and well explained. Thanks

Great video. Very useful indeed. Thank you.

Thanks for this vid. Very informational!

Thanks for sharing. Great Job!

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.

Thank You for the very good detailed Info :)

This was very good ..!!! Thank you for the info.

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

Very good information.

Great video, thank you.

very helpfull

Great video. Only incorrect info is that patchbays are expensive - I think it's just for you guys in Australia who pay ridiculous prices. In Europe and USA they are dirt cheap, especially second hand!

In top tier studios normaling the board to the bay seems to be the way to go but I find for home studio, thru or " isolated" mode gives you the full flexibility of the bay. Want to just put your mic into the pre into a light compression to tape? Isolated is the way to go. Imho

ha ha very interesting to hear all that, thanks

gr8 vid ...

Tip top

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

best explanation

Thanks man

Thank you! 👍

Nice explained Vache.

more behringer products! :) great video! but still waiting for the comparison of the fca 1616 and presonus 1818 hahaha! (Y)

Nice video! Learned a lot!

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!
