#WAVES MULTIRACK NATIVE BUNDLE SOFTWARE#

The less processing power you have, the less plug-in instances you will be able to use at one time. Because this is a Native system you will be limited by the processing power of your computer.

MultiRack Native is a piece of software that runs on your computer that allows you to access your Waves plug-in library. The components of a SoundGrid system will vary depending on your console situation, but there are essentially two routes. The way that you integrate these plug-ins into your console will vary depending on what you are mixing on, but keep in mind there is a solution for literally any console. Some of my favorite plug-ins include the Chris Lord-Alge Classic Compressor bundle, H-Comp, and GEQ which is a phase-coherent, 31-band graphic EQ. If you are not familiar, Waves plug-ins offer solutions for any need you have be it EQ, compression, modulation, reverb, delay and more. Waves Soundgrid gives you access to more than 130 plug-ins for your live mixes.

Waves Soundgrid is a dizzying number of plug-ins and related products, so let me give you a lay of the land, then I'll dive into my hands-on experiences with the company's Extreme Server. If you are mixing on an analog console or a digital console that does not support plug-ins internally, well you are in luck because Waves Soundgrid has a solution for you. I still have those conversations with other engineers, but we live in a digital world and so the most common question I get these days from other engineers is “What plug-in are you using on that?” If you feel left behind when the water cooler conversations head into the plug-in realm have no fear. Example: “Hey that kick sounds huge, can I see the EQ on it?”, or “The mic on that female vocal wasn't working so I had to change the mic”. Common conversation between audio engineers usually have to do with the variables about the elements that you can change, modify and adjust on a daily basis to improve you mix.
