Digigrid Mgb Driver

[Armanda Kicks]

Thismorning I got an email from Waves with the subject "Your Waves Coupon". It told me that I had a plugin registered but I just needed to activate it. I went ahead and installed it and discovered it is a I/O software of some kind. I'm suspecting it's related to an interface which I don't have. I have a Scarlett 6i6 and that has been my interface for 6 years. Do I need this new DiGi for some reason? I had it on but took it off because I don't want any conflict between the Focusrite drivers and those. There was also listed a Yamaha DiGi D Driver but I didn't put that on. Any answers to help me make sense of this mystery?

The DLI installer includes the relevant drivers and software for your unit: the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver, the SoundGrid Studio Application, the eMotion ST mixer, StudioRack, and the DLI Control Panel.

The SoundGrid Studio Application is your tool for managing all software and hardware connected to the SoundGrid network. With its dynamic I/O mapping ability, the SoundGrid Studio Application lets you configure your SoundGrid network, manage its various components, and set up any combination of drivers and SoundGrid-compatible devices. It also enables I/O sharing between several computers, allowing you to manage their resources from your host computer.

eMotion ST is the mixer part of the SoundGrid Studio System. Combined with StudioRack, it lets you run SoundGrid plugins for low-latency monitoring, giving you complex monitor mixing options while recording with your DAW.

eMotion ST is a high-quality mixer with 8 multi-purpose inputs, 64 additional StudioRack input channels, 2 FX busses, 6 mix busses, and a main stereo mix. Since the mixer operates within the SoundGrid network, any DiGiGrid I/O or any available SoundGrid-compatible I/O device, whether hardware or driver-based, can provide it with inputs and outputs.

The eMotion ST mixer can run hundreds of Waves and third-party SoundGrid-compatible plugins in low latency, replacing in this respect the external mixer traditionally used to create monitor mixes for studios and headphones.

Plug the MGB straight into your computer to record up to 128 channels with simultaneous playback of 128 channels. Add a SoundGrid DSP server and DiGiGrid SWI network switch plus Waves MultiRack SoundGrid host application, and your MADI-compatible live or broadcast console now has real-time low-latency processing capabilities. And if you require a higher level of audio quality, a simple configuration change switches the MGB to 96kHz, for 64 channels of recording and 64 channels of simultaneous playback.

It would be really cool for Waves to compile SG for generalized Linux environments. Seeing how Waves plug-ins require a license to run in SG, creating a stand-alone Linux distro for people who want to host these plug-ins in their own box would open up the arena for potential additional customers.

Adding my +1. Just having a soundgrid driver on linux to send/receive audio from a linux DAW would be great! Bitwig, Reaper, Davinci Resolve and now Studio One already support linux. The soundgrid servers run on linux as well, so I guess it would technically be possible.

DiGiGrid DLS is an all-in-one processing and networking hub that bridges Pro Tools and SoundGrid. With its built-in SoundGrid DSP server, network switch, and two DigiLink ports providing as many as 64 digital inputs and outputs, DiGiGrid DLS gives you more processing power and lets you take full advantage of your existing Pro Tools system.

The DLS installer includes the relevant drivers and software for your unit: the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver, the SoundGrid Studio Application, the eMotion ST mixer, StudioRack, and the DLS Control Panel.

This configuration lets you add the power of a SoundGrid network to your Pro Tools HD system, giving you extra plugin power, enabling you to monitor and record in ultra-low latency, and providing you with access to multiple I/O devices across the network.

Your solution when you want to add extra processing power to a Pro Tools HD Native system. By adding the SoundGrid Studio System and a DiGiGrid DLS with its built-in SoundGrid DSP server, you can enjoy more processing power for plugins and be able to access multiple I/O devices across the SoundGrid network.

In this configuration, a control room equipped with a large Pro Tools HD/HDX system is connected to a SoundGrid network for greater flexibility. DiGiGrid DLI and DLS units together supply 112 I/O channels to the HD system, with the DLS providing a built-in SoundGrid DSP server for plugin processing. An Avid Omni is the I/O for control room mixes.

A secondary DAW system can be used as a backup recorder, an editing room DAW, and a recording station for the voice-over booth. A DiGiGrid IOC interface supplies multiple I/O channels, which can be allocated to the main DAW.

In this configuration, a DLS I/O and server is the bridge connecting these interfaces to the SoundGrid network. Avid hardware is used for I/O and A/D/A conversion, while processing takes place on the server.

The DigiLink-enabled I/O will not appear in the DAW hardware device menu. Instead, you will see the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver. Patching of I/O channels and driver channels is done through the SoundGrid Studio Application. You can control the DigiLink-compatible I/O parameters using the DLS Control Panel which is accessible via the SoundGrid Studio Setup page.

The table below indicates the number of plugins that can be inserted into StudioRacks and loaded to DiGiGrid DLS before the system reaches DSP overload (85%) or fails to play audio fluently (clicks, dropouts, corruption).

I have to admit I was really nervous purchasing the new Waves/DigiGrid interface, and the lack of a DigiGrid IOS review from an actual user really made me drag my feet on pulling the trigger. Running Beach House Studios, a small to mid-sized recording, mixing, and mastering studio in the metro Boston area, I found myself in the awkward position of needing to upgrade my OS to be compatible with software that was critical to my workflow.

Unfortunately I was unable to upgrade because my previous audio interface was no longer being supported with drivers for any OS beyond 10.8.5. I knew it was well past time to be looking at a new audio interface, but there were several additional pain points that were developing because of my rapid expansion in business over the last year.
