[QUOTE="Harry Brill Jr., post: 138077, member: 8636"] Re: Tell me about waves Soundgrid servers are only going to work with soundgrid hardware and soundgrid licenses. Multirack native also works with soundgrid hardware and native licenses, but the latency is higher. The OS overhead is understandably lower on the soundgrid server which runs a purpose optimized unix. Soundgrid hardware shows up on your computer as a core audio device (mac). You can simply select it in multitrack native as your IO but you must be running one of the drivers. If you close out the driver, it goes away. They have a few that will do the job, and if you buy a piece of hardware one of them will show up in your licenses. You could also use it to record into a DAW or playback. If you have the space in your rack you only need an old not so great computer with an ethernet port to control the server and network settings, an Impact server (cheap) or better (the compact doesn't let you do much), a switch (cheap) and SG hardware to get the audio from and to the console (most expensive part other than the plugins). Digico has the control computer and the SG hardware built in as far as I can tell. The server is all you need with them. Yamaha requires the use of the card slots. You can have up to 4 in the PM5D, and less in everything else. Each slot gives you 16 ins and outs into the soundgrid network. I believe there is a card for A&H and Soundcraft, and there is a card for Digidesign venue too. I have no idea what the channel counts are. There is an MGB and MGO which are madi to SG convertor boxes that run about $2000. They handle 2 madi universes for a total of 128 channels each way, but I think you are limited to 64 for multirack. You can probably run a second server to get another 64 though and on the same network too. There are also ways to run all of this redundantly but I'm not sure how all that is implemented. I do know you need a sep license for the backup, so that would be 2 licenses for every SG plugin you use. This seems well suited for the SD7 which also has 2 mix engines for redundancy. In fact they have a plugin bundle called SD7 Proshow which is 2 licenses for every plugin and it's nearly twice the price of the Proshow bundle. Let me warn you, if you get into this you may develop GAS, especially during a sale, don't ask me how I know. Must have corpie plugins in no particular order. Dugan WNS or NS1 or both H-EQ GEQ Lo AIR Vocal Rider for video playback C6 or C4 De-esser or R De-esser API2500 makes a great comp for the record feed For band mixing I would say... CLA76 dbx160 (allows parallel compression without using up channels) C1 Gate and comp and it gets weird too?? I may have to get the manual for this one C6 or C4 H-EQ SSL channel (may be redundant with the H-EQ but it has the gate and comp and it's really easy to get a good sound) IR Live Reverb that uses convolution. Waves has a ton of files for download and a bunch more if you ask the right person H Delay H Comp (allows parallel compression without using up channels) Bass Rider API 2500 for the records LoAir Mondo Mod and Enigma are both fun You really don't need many, you just need the right few. Many of the plugins overlap and do the same thing. R Bass is practically the same as MaxxBass. Would someone explain the Renascence and H series designations? [/QUOTE]
