[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 148908, member: 46"] Re: Tell me about waves Andy, you could certainly use a DAW instead of Multirack. Multirack is a little better suited for stand-alone use though and the routing is a little simpler than most DAWs, but if you've got a DAW that you're really comfortable with that would be just fine. Your inquiry triggered memories from long ago - I remember doing that with Waves plugins and Cubase on a Mackie 4 bus way back in the early 2000's (verbs and delays). It worked great even back then, though tech has come a long way since, and OS's are a lot more reliable now than Windows 98 ;) So long as you are using plugins that aren't so latency sensitive like verb and delay etc it's very easy, and there are some stellar sounding plugins these days. If you ever want to get into the type of usage where you need realtime (ish) latency (for inserts etc), it's a little trickier and you must be very cautious of relative latency of channels etc if you're doing something outside of the console. It can get pretty messy trying to manage the latency - multirack can apply latency to all plugins to sync with the plugin with the worst overall latency, but then you'd have to apply the same delay to the channels not routed to multirack via delay in the console.
