The release of DiGiGrid’s DLS and DLI interfaces restore access to the palette of Waves SoundGrid plug-ins to Pro Tools without AAX DSP support. Both interfaces feature 64 digital inputs/64 digital outputs, the DiGiGrid DLI being custom-engineered for users of large Pro Tools systems requiring the extra processing power of a dedicated SoundGrid DSP server.

Both interfaces also have a built-in SoundGrid DSP server and certified SoundGrid switch, providing an integrated expansion of their a Pro Tools system with the convenience of an all-in-one hardware interface.

The new interfaces join the already-available DiGiGrid MGB and MGO interfaces, which provide Madi interfacing with SoundGrid, and the IOS, IOX and IOC, which are standard audio interfaces for any DAW, such as Pro Tools and Logic. The units allow expansion of a system using an additional interface linked to the first with standard network cables. The IOS also has a SoundGrid server build into it for real time plug-in processing.

‘As DiGiGrid interfaces are all networked, the user can mix and match with any interface combination, multiple host DAWs and mixed platforms – Mac and PC – with I/O sharing and processing. They provide the easiest way to network and share I/O resources between multiple DAWs, as well as processing with SoundGrid plug-ins,’ says DiGiGrid’s Dan Page.

‘They offer a tremendous amount of potential to everything from major recording, live production and broadcast installations to postproduction, project studios and education.’
