Description
Hello HN,I’m a hobby music producer with a changing studio setup and got tired of losing track of what’s patched where (especially after gear swaps).I built PatchMyGear, a website to map audio setups / routing and generate a cable list + wiring checklist, save / load locally. (no signup)Let me know what you think. Happy holidays!
