The Israel-based technology company Waves is one of the leading digital audio manufacturers in both the professional and consumer electronics industries.
The Skinny: Known for its plugins and other software solutions, the company also offers hardware solutions. Recently Waves bolstered its product line through the introduction of its SoundGrid Studio System.
The Specs: Waves says the SoundGrid Studio System is a real-time processing and networking platform that enables users’ DAWs to offload their plugin processing to streamline and maximize performance for fast processing and low-latency monitoring.
The SoundGrid Studio System includes the SoundGrid Studio Application, which manages the SoundGrid network on a host computer; the eMotion ST mixer that runs plugins in real time for recording, mixing and low-latency monitoring while tracking or rehearsing; and StudioRack that runs plugin chains, while saving and loading the plugins’ presets.

In addition, the StudioRack also offloads the processing to a SoundGrid DSP server to ease the processing burden, and the last component is the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver that connects any DAW to the SoundGrid network as a software I/O.
Waves also points out the SoundGrid Studio System can also be used with its line of DiGiGrid I/Os to expand a studio’s ability to centralize their systems through a central I/O.
Solutions: The SoundGrid Studio System can be used for a variety of audio recording tasks.
