A FREE application that gives rock solid multi-tracking and playback for those wanting a simple to use program. In early March, Waves announced a new program called Track Live. I've always known there was ways to use plugins live, but they've always been just out of reach.

I've been mixing (via Logic Pro X) with Waves plugins for some time and I've loved what I've gotten from them. However, in the back of my mind I've always wanted more. Learning the EQ, tweaking compressor settings, and having fun seeing what the internal "plugins" do to my channels.
#SOUNDCRAFT SI WAVES MULTIRACK HOW TO#
Over the last few months I've been slowly learning how to dial it in. In November of 2014 I finally took delivery of my most prized possession: a Midas M32. If you have the DIY spirit, some know-how with interfaces, and a computer already this could be the cheapest solution, but it doesn't sound very appealing to me personally.This post is dedicated to all of you looking to get the most out of your Midas M32 (or Behringer X32), those who are tired of scrolling through forums trying to figure out if Waves MultiRack is worth it, and those wondering how to implement MultiRack on one of these fantastic consoles. but I'm in no mood to suggest Soundcraft to you).ģ - Go DIY and set up your own rack with a computer and an interface.

With VCAs and 8 FX GLD seems the best of the pair for FOH plus it's Waves card will do more channels),Ģ - Get a relatively inexpensive console with FireWire functionality built in plus waves multirack (limited to essentially to StudioLive, X32, and possibly Soundcraft Si series when their FireWire card hits shelves. Those are your choices essentially:ġ - go pro and get a console, a card, and a computer (expensive, but obviously a lot of unrelated benefits.

Consoles like the Presonus have FireWire built in, so you can send your audio to computer and back also all digital via FireWire with a pretty well established driver and latency setup. Consoles with Waves cards connect to the computer via Ethernet for and all digital signal path and are optimized for low latency. Problem is, latency will be more complicated than with any console Waves card + computer system, you'll be adding an A-D-A, and you'll be at the mercy of your best choice of audio interface and driver configuration. Hook inserts up to the interface and you'll have on any console with inserts.
You could also set up a rack with an audio interface with 8 ins and 8 outs for example, plus computer with Waves MultiRack. Using the Presonus for FOH would be the suggestion. I would love some insight / pictures / critiques / good jokes, but mostly just some understanding of how this Multirack Native product is actually used in the field. and I have files for all of those, but how could a person have a consistent experience without buying cards for each desk or something?
Waves has their Multirack Native product which would seemingly make life easy.īut, here's my question how in the heck do people ACTUALLY do this? How do you integrate your outboard Waves Multirack "gear" (audio interface) with all these different formats now? Analog is one thing, but we get a few M7s, Avid/Digi consoles all the time, Digico stuff. I own Waves Diamond Native and would love to use that for my outboard. The snap-shots would be SO helpful! But we can't really afford the time or the cost of taking an SC48 out on the road - or something similar.
Now, I would LOVE to integrate Waves plugins into our setup we used a ton in studio, and because of the fact that most people in this band switch instruments and so, in effort to reign in the channel count, multiple mics are doing double or triple duty.
24 inputs, 8 people on stage and an LS9 stereo stage IEM rig that they control (with a passive split out to the House and my mics). I work for a touring band that does primarily 500 - 2500 person venues. I've been doing some brain cell crunching and I just can't figure out a real solution on this:
