Hey all,
I wanted to get your thoughts on the most efficient way of setting up for a band in terms of keeping cables and inputs organized. Currently, the way I like to do it is label each cable a number on each end. This isn't necessarily the input channel (but if it is, great). But, this allows me to trace cable quickly from end to end.
I will then physically label each mic/DI the channel it is patched to as well as the instrument it is mic'ing. This allows me to know what mic goes where with what channel it should be patched to in the event of stage shifts/oopsies.
This way works well for me but every time I work with a new crew, it seems cumbersome to explain. I am just open to finding out if there is a more efficient way.
Thanks
