Flock Audio: How To Setup your PATCH!

[@RandallNielson]

Game-changing tech, I love this box with my Big Six and disparate gear. So cool and appropriate they're using it with Audio-Scape stuff. Chris and Charlie rock. ASAF!

[@FlockAudio]

Thank you!! And Yes The Audioscape Team are the best!! 🤘🏻

[@mrwoo40]

I’d like to see how you use this with your big six….

[@AudioJanitor]

Just remember: From Patch: Out to In & In to Out. Be patient with yourself and take your time. Fantastic box. Over a year now with no issues. Will never manually patch gear again.

[@FlockAudio]

VERY! Valid Point and Instruction! Easy to miss or mistakenly have the cables reversed! Thank you for the feedback as well on your PATCH! 🙂👏🏼

How do you connect 10 mics into the Flock? Is there a D-sub in 1-8 and 9-10 you would connect mic cables to? If all the ins and outs of your pres, compressors, eqs are connected to the flock patch I assume this is how? No one shows connecting mics just connecting gear to flock. I see two in's on the Flock for two mics with 48v. Thank You!

[@jeremyontheconsole]

@@marc8vino my question exactly. you figure it out?

[@larswillsen]

A save to cloud would be nice - I watched Colt Copperune installing this amazing thing 🙂

[@FlockAudio]

Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

[@LLUEVE]

This is flocking awesome!!!

[@FlockAudio]

😄 It sure is!

[@rickelliott821]

Nice job Ben. This is very informative and clarifies the signal chain and routing questions I have been working through.. great product.

[@FlockAudio]

Thank you for sharing! Glad it was helpful! 🙂

[@critza]

Thanks alot for this great simplification,

[@FlockAudio]

You are most welcome!!! 🙂

Thanks for the info, quick question can I use this device to make an iPad Pro setup only? And used with my outboard gear? I don’t have a Mac anymore

[@FlockAudio]

Hi! Because PATCH APP DX iOS requires communication with the host app, you will need to have a Desktop or Laptop running the PATCH APP DX Software. However; we are in the process of working on a USB-C to PATCH Series connection via iPad for controlling directly.

[@ValerioRosati]

Awesome. Can I connect a PREAMP to the patch to use while tracking or is only for mixing with Outboards? it would be so simple to organize the entire chain.

[@FlockAudio]

Hi Valerio, Yes - you can connect your Line Output directly to PATCH and setup the rest of your analog routing chain with the PATCH APP Software 🙌

[@mp3o]

I haven't been able to find a version of the Patch App for Android / Linux?

[@FlockAudio]

Hi! We haven't had much of a request/demand for Linux or Android Support for the PATCH APP DX Software. We currently only have: OSX, Windows, iOS and iOS iPad Support. We're pass it along to the development team for their consideration 🙂

Do you group your mics before adding color

[@BritoWorx]

Super dope technology but priced way out of budget for most people. I achieved a patchbayless set up for half the price. All my outboard gear are click and drag in my daw. Very little latency.

[@FlockAudio]

Appreciate the Admiration! Routing within your Interface is fully capable of performing basic routings however; despite latency it is quite different in comparison to routing with the PATCH Series. This is why the costs associated between a recording interface with a DAC that performs the routing is much more affordable in comparison to the Analog Matrix that routes in the PATCH Series. Inclusive of a large difference in feature capability between Routing that The PATCH Series can perform, versus a Recording Interface cannot.

[@BritoWorx]

@@FlockAudio thanks for the reply. I love y’all company and products. I understand you’re a smaller business. Just hope one day it becomes more affordable. I admire companies who standby their products. Respect

[@FlockAudio]

Much appreciated! And Yes - We are always working on making the PATCH Series more affordable and strategizing how to get more of our systems into the hands of audio professionals like yourself everyday!

[@014Marines]

Can you daisy chain a pair of patchbays?

[@FlockAudio]

Of course! This is what we call "Multi-Unit Setup" which you can configure any combination of any model of PATCH Series models together!

[@bachelorgamer8001]

this video makes it look like the flock is only for mastering

[@FlockAudio]

This is just a quick video example! PATCH Series is definitely for all analog routing related purposes in studios of all sizes 🙂

Happy PATCH'ing!
