The complexities of the modern studio-I used to have a troubleshooting guide, shoulda had it laminated; swap out the cables first, then start at the source and work backward toward the mixer, I think it said..... You can start at either end, but the furthest end from the mixer usually gets the most action and it's also usually the easiest to access.The last time I set up my studio, I drew a map of where every cable went, and I labeled every cable at both ends with a number and a letter (AXXX for audio, MXXX for MIDI, etc) I labeled the ends of the power cords where they plug in to the strip and so on. It made a huge difference when troubleshooting, particularly since I had patchbays in the signal path. Looking at a schematic instead of digging through a mass of cables is always a better way to start!!!Break it down mentally to it's components and start at one end.Mazz
