Eleven Rack and patchbay

[Psychotropic]

Hi

Anyone connecting the 11R to a patchbay ?
Im about to set up a home recording studio and wonder how i should fit
the 11R into the workflow with other gear etc. Its gonna be rackmounted, but
theres many different connections there on the rear of the unit and im not sure where to start. My patchbay is a behringer ultrapatch TRS PX3000. Please chime in if you can help me out. Thanks.

what are you wanting to patch the in's or out's?? or both??

I run direct from the guitar in to the 11r input and stereo left to channel 1 on mixer and pan left, then stereo right from the 11r to ch2 on the mixer and pan right.

I run 3 11r's for the system this way.

first 11r for lead
second 11r for acoustic
third 11r for bass

eats up 6 channels on the mixer but it is easy to track this way!!
and no patch bay.

I run 2) r24 zoom for the 48 channels of mixer (16 live mono 8 stereo) and daw and recorder.
small low cost and easy to run!!

I was thinking both the inputs and outputs on the 11R to the patchbay to get a flexible setup. And then i can run other stuff thru it as well via the patchbay. So yeah, both stereo ins and outs and the effect send, return as well. It should be ok , right? I am new to both patchbays and the 11R so just wanted to share my thoughts here regarding this. I guess most of you are using the usb connection as a audio interface, but im not sure yet if thats what i want. I have both the RME UFX and ZED R16 as audio interfaces, should be enough i guess.

Can you just simply use 11R usb for tracking guitar/bass and use ZED R16 for anything else? A lot less cables/connectors/connections for a better signal. Personally I would not bother connecting my 11R to a patchbay (My old Digi001 is although)
