How many mults do you guys have in your patchbay?
To be clear, I'm not talking about mults you can create by tapping off of the top row of a half normalled patchbay. I'm speaking specifically about dedicated mults you have wired up in your patchbay for the explicit purpose of creating mults. These sort of dedicated mults obviously take up twice the usual jack real estate.
So how many dedicated mults do you have wired up in your patchbay? What is the minimum number of mults you require to do what you do during tracking and/or mixing?
I'm currently doing some patchbay re-wiring, so I'm curious.

Me too! This is something I have to investigate in the near future.

I have / had 24. In TT bays. I have it up FS if anybody is using TT. Useful especially if you're on a console with tape and outboard effects.

I just need a patchbay, so I can route everything on the fly for tracking and mix down.
I have to insert hardware on my tracking chains, insert hardware on my 2 Buss+ and outboard FX. Hybrid

Gotcha covered if you want to do TT bays with Elco's... Bays, wire, connectors, etc.. Cheap.  |

I have 16 dedicated mult channels (2 Redco DB25s, 8 top, and 8 bottom). I find that enough for what I'm doing.

Not enough, though seriously I’m a fan of having a bay or 2 set up for mults , polarity reverse, ground lift, a couple of pads and isolation transformers all those little utility jobs at your finger tips. |

Last 24 jacks on the bay are paralleled horizontally in groups of 3, so four 3-way mults on the top row and four on the bottom. Last two mults top and bottom have the last jack polarity inverted.

I have splitter TT cables that I can use to do mults into the rack hardware if needed. Otherwise I usually do them in the DAW. I'd rather the patchbay be all singles with half normals and everything else is an adapter cable for maximum flexibility.

Man, some of y'all have a lot of mults. I have a lot of stuff half normalled, so maybe that's why I've gotten by with less mults. Still, I'm debating whether or not I could use more because it will require another patchbay to do so.

I don't see your ad in the RGO classifieds. I haven't really gotten serious about it yet. LOL It's a TT bay, with 4 points wired together as a multi - X 24. No terminations on the rear (obviously) If you're using a TT bay system it's plug and play. I think it's pricing was $100 IIRC, but I've got a minimum shipping thing going on cause it's just not worth it to me otherwise. I've got lots of TT bays with Elco rear termination, Elco to Elco interconnects, misc. Snakes of all kinds, raw snakes with no ends, etc.. Never going to use them now that the console is gone. Priced @ 1/2 or less of Redco's pricing. |

The TT bay in my console has a 3 way mult on each of the 4 bottom rows. It also has a phase reversing pair on the end of one row.
