#WAVES MULTIRACK X32 UPDATE#
(*cough* Allen & Heath, are you listening? Huge opportunity to update your MixWiz line!!) Then run Multirack off the insert of every channel. VeniceU would be an option, if only if were 12M 4S, instead of 8M 8S. Plan is to either wait for a "better" Mackie Onyx style, rackmount analog mixer with USB/Firewire outs to be released.
#WAVES MULTIRACK X32 HOW TO#
Now that the Waves X-WSG SoundGrid Expansion Card is installed in my Behringer X32 I will be hard at work making more tutorials over the coming weeks teaching you how to add the Waves X-WSG and MultiRack into your audio workflow.Been thinking about dropping the analog rackgear and going with a Waves MultiRack setup. Let’s get the Waves X-WSG installed and working! Check out my YouTube video on how to get this installed and working! So, when you are heavily relying on SoundGrid for ALL of your audio processing and not using the console for anything, this is where you will run out of DSP. The Waves SoundGrid Impact Server can only run 6 of the H-Reverb Hybrid Reverb (stereo). It is impressive how many plugins this can handle without going into DSP overload, 410 initiations of the API 2500, or 99 initiations of the C6 Multiband Compressor, and my favorite “turn your X32 into an SSL” (kinda) with 392 initiations of the SSL E-Channel or G-Channel.Īt this point you might be wondering, why do you even need a bigger version of this with the Waves SoundGrid Extreme Server? Well, it is in the really DSP heavy plugins like Reverbs and Delays that eats up the DSP. It is pretty small! The case is a Mini ITX case measuring at W: 10.5″ x H: 2.76″ x D: 12.4″. But for the time being, let me explain a few details about this. This thing is awesome and I will be doing a more in depth article about this server soon. This interfaces directly with the SoundGrid network, but can also connect directly to a computer and work with MultiRack Native without using a SoundGrid server. The Waves X-WSG I/O Card gives a 32 in, 32 out audio interface with the Behringer X32 and Midas M32 consoles. This combo is all you need to get your X32 and M32 working with SoundGrid and MultiRack. Impact Combo for X32 and X32-Producer Consoles Multiple servers can also be implemented for redundancy, if one server goes down, the other server can pick back up with a minimal loss of audio. This frees up your computer for other processor-heavy tasks.

The real beauty of SoundGrid is that it utilizes servers to process the audio separate from your computer that you are controlling the plugins with.

SoundGrid was released as an extremely low-latency environment for audio processing with these plugins but in real time. Waves plugins have been a staple for engineers who use ProTools in the recording studio. Looking for the video? Click here now to skip to it! So, What is SoundGrid? I’m happy to announce that Waves has teamed up with me and sent me a Waves X-WSG Expansion Card along with a Waves SoundGrid Impact Server Combo to review and teach about for the next few months! Not only do I get to make a few videos helping you get this card and setup installed, but I will also go over my favorite plugins, how to get them interfaced with the X32/M32, and how I would implement them into my weekly audio workflow! Remember last week during my post about expansion cards I mentioned something exciting about the Waves X-WSG card? Well, this week I can tell you about it!
