Stream Audio Between DAW and Live Mixing Console
SoundGrid QRec enables you to stream audio for recording and playback between your live mixing console and DAW via any SoundGrid audio interface:
Starting with Mac OS Ventura, network timing & priority infrastructure introduced some changes, affecting SoundGrid driver performance. As a result, using Apple computers for recording or playback with the SoundGrid driver may exhibit intermittent audio dropouts. Apple and Waves are working in collaboration towards fixing this issue, however until resolved, we recommend using Windows computers for recording and playback with the SoundGrid driver. Still, there are many systems that record/playback with Apple computers flawlessly, so we strongly suggest to review the SoundGrid Recording/Playback Tips for Apple Computers article.
Using Apple Macs to run SoundGrid host applications, such as SuperRack SoundGrid or eMotion LV1, is fully supported.
SoundGrid QRec can share its assigned devices with other SoundGrid applications, but devices shared by other SoundGrid host applications on the network cannot be assigned in SoundGrid QRec.
Mac models without ‘Metal’ support are not supported with the current version. Learn more.
MacPro models from 2012 and earlier are not supported with the current version.
If the outputs of a DiGiGrid D / Q / M interface are patched to a Soundgrid Driver, audio will not pass if the Driver Network Buffer is set to 1024 samples in the Soundgrid host application. Workaround: change the driver’s network buffer to 512 or lower.
Waves Plugins and applications are supported and tested on operating systems installed on the built-in system hard drive. Operating systems installed on external hard drives are not tested and may not be fully functional with our software.
SoundGrid QRec does not require a SoundGrid server, it does not process audio, rather it automatically patches SoundGrid devices to your local SoundGrid driver.
OS X users: For best performance of audio transport from the SoundGrid Core Audio Driver to the SoundGrid network, consult this page for up-to-date information on Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapters for SoundGrid networking on Mac computers. Recording and playing back over 32 channels using your local Apple ethernet port is not recommended and may cause random audio drops.
Windows Users: For best performance of audio transport from the SoundGrid ASIO Driver to the SoundGrid network, Windows computers featuring USB-C connectivity should use a Gigabit Ethernet adapter with an Asix AX88179A chipset. We've specifically tested the following adapter: Pluggable USB Type-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter USBC-E1000
