Run Waves Plugins Live On Your DIGICO SD OR Quantum Console

Waves plugins are used in leading recording studios, mixing rooms and mastering houses around the world. Waves’ SoundGrid technology enables you to run Waves plugins in real time and with super-low latency on your live mixing console—the perfect solution for front-of-house, monitor, broadcast and theater engineers.

Now you can mix with Waves plugins on your DiGiCo SD or Quantum series consoles, with maximum plugin control, reliably fast processing speeds, and the ultimate in live sound performance.

To mix with Waves plugins on DiGiCo, you need to run the SuperRack plugin host software on a computer connected to the console. Processing is handled by a Waves SoundGrid server, which offers heavy processing capabilities at ultra-low latency and supports server redundancy. The plugins can be controlled directly from the console, including touch-and-turn plugin parameter adjustments and the ability to manage sessions and snapshots.

Console mirroring is supported, so when you use redundant console setups, any setting and parameter changes will be reflected onto a fully mirrored SuperRack setup.

Use a SoundGrid-certified network switch to connect your console to the computer running SuperRack and to the SoundGrid servers. You'll need the Waves I/O for DiGiCo SD or Quantum Consoles installed to connect the console to your SoundGrid network.

For more on the Waves I/O for DiGiCo SD or Quantum Consoles, contact your DiGiCo dealer.

Run Waves Plugins Live On Your DIGICO S Series Console

To mix with Waves plugins on DiGiCo S Series consoles, you'll need to run the SuperRack plugin host software on a computer connected to the console. Audio processing is handled by a Waves SoundGrid server, which offers heavy processing capabilities at ultra-low latency and supports server redundancy.

Use a SoundGrid-certified network switch to connect the SuperRack host computer to the console and the SoundGrid servers. You'll also need DiGiCo's DMI Waves I/O card installed to connect the console to the SoundGrid network.

SuperRack remote integration is supported only on DiGiCo SD/Quantum Series consoles. There is no remote integration option for SuperRack on DiGiCo S-Series consoles.

For more on the DMI Waves I/O card, contact your DiGiCo dealer.

Waves for DiGiCo SD Console: Console Mirroring with SuperRack SoundGrid and Integrated Remote Control

Important note: Mirroring is supported only when both host computers run the same OS version, the same version of SuperRack, and the same version of Waves plugins. For example: two computers, each running Windows 10, SuperRack V12, and V13 Waves plugins; or two computers, each running macOS 10.15, SuperRack V12, and V12 Waves plugins.

For a fully mirrored setup, each console engine will need its own:

Waves I/O for DiGiCo SD Consoles
Computer host running SuperRack
SoundGrid Servers to process plugins

All changes made on the primary SuperRack system will be reflected on the mirrored DiGiCo and SuperRack system.
