I'll go ahead and apologize for a post that's probably been discussed before. I DID search to find an answer first, but I did not. I'm sure it's my fault. Onto my issue.
So I'm wiring a patchbay and am struggling with the console inserts. I'm wiring a Soundcraft Ghost with a Redco R196-D25PG TT/DB25. The connection being used is DB25 to TRS. When a cable is inserted into the insert of the console, the signal is interrupted. At the console, I used a Y cable to split for send and return to go to the normalled patchbay. This should complete the loop and allow single to continue through the console's signal flow. I can't get get that to work. I haven't done this in 20 years, so I assume I'm screwing something up. I THINK it's something to do with a balanced/unbalanced cable scenario. The cable going into the patchbay is balanced, but at the console, I'm using a splitter, thus making it unbalanced. Just hoping for a little help. I apologize for my ignorance. I've been doing this for a fairly long time, and I my failure is getting pretty annoying. Just trying to get this console and patchbay wired, so I can use my 2" 24 track. I should just sell everything. Ugh.
Thanks for any assistance, and I apologize for my ignorance.
