Waves Audio has introduced SoundGrid Connect, which allows any ASIO- or Core Audio-compatible audio interface to connect to a SoundGrid network. SoundGrid Connect adds massive DSP processing power to ASIO and Core Audio interfaces, and provides access to SoundGrid features such as the ability to run hundreds of simultaneous plug-ins, audio streaming, recording and mixing from multiple computers and DAWs simultaneously, and more. Users who already have a SoundGrid I/O can also use SoundGrid Connect to expand their SoundGrid network with any ASIO/Core Audio interface.
SoundGrid Connect is available free to any owner of at least one Waves software product.
SoundGrid Connect allows users to:
- Connect non-SoundGrid (ASIO/Core Audio) audio interfaces to a SoundGrid server and offload plug-in processing to the server.
- Connect non-SoundGrid (ASIO/Core Audio) audio interfaces to the SoundGrid network for audio streaming, mixing and recording.
- Patch and mix from multiple computers, DAWs and I/Os in the SoundGrid network.
- Collaborate on projects and move between studios with different systems. Any musician or engineer working with a host computer and ASIO/Core Audio driver can now connect to other users’ SoundGrid network and vice versa.
