Waves Audio’s SoundGrid Studio system is a real-time processing and networking platform that allows plug-in processing to be offloaded from DAWs for real-time processing and low-latency monitoring. The system integrates with all DAWs and SoundGrid-compatible I/Os.

SoundGrid Studio can be cinfugured to serve set-ups ranging from a single DAW with one SoundGrid I/O to an network of host computers, I/Os and SoundGrid DSP servers through a central hub, as well as to connect multiple DAWs using the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver.

The system can run an almost unlimited number of plug-ins with near-zero latency. It is also compliant with SoundGrid-compatible Waves and third-party plug-ins, and comes with a line of powerful DSP servers that provide unequaled offload capabilities.

The SoundGrid Studio System includes the SoundGrid Studio Application, which manages the SoundGrid network on a host computer; the emotion ST mixer, which runs plugins in real time for recording, mixing, and low-latency monitoring while tracking or rehearsing; and StudioRack, which runs plug-in chains, saves and loads their presets, and offloads their processing to a SoundGrid DSP server. A SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver connects any DAW to the SoundGrid network as a software I/O.

All DiGiGrid I/O interfaces come with the complete SoundGrid Studio System software. Current owners of DiGiGrid MGB and MGO units can receive the complete SoundGrid Studio System software free of charge. StudioRack Native is free for Waves plugin owners covered by the Waves Update Plan. StudioRack SoundGrid and the eMotion ST mixer carries an MSRP of US$450.
