DigiGrid M
Multiple Client Core Audio/ ASIO Driver
The Waves SoundGrid ASIO (Windows) or Core Audio (Mac) driver lets you congure multiple hosts with the same local driver. This
means you can use multiple DAWs on the same computer simultaneously. This allows you to record the same source to two DAWs
on the same computer consecutively; route audio from multiple DAWs to a single I/O; and, if you have a SoundGrid server, route
multiple DAWs to the eMotion ST mixer.
Please note the following when using this feature:
1. All hosts must run the same sample rate. If sample rates do not match, each host will behave dierently.
2. Driver inputs can be shared by multiple DAWs.
3. Driver outputs are exclusive on PC computers running Windows: if a certain driver channel output is used in DAW A, it cannot
be used in DAW B. Driver outputs are not exclusive on Mac computers: the driver’s operating system layer is able to mix these
channels.
On PC computers running Windows, this limitation requires that you allocate driver channels manually between your DAWs.
Choosing a driver output in a DAW will overwrite previous selections. For example, if you choose Main out in Cubase to be
Driver Channel 1 and 2, you should choose the Main output in Ableton Live to be 3 and 4: if you choose 1 and 2 in Ableton
Live, the Cubase output will be canceled.
Please note: Some hosts, for example Pro Tools and MultiRack Native, automatically claim all driver outputs. Even when using
such hosts, however, you can use the same input driver channels to record to multiple DAWs.
4. It is not possible to connect local driver channels to one another. This means you cannot use SoundGrid Studio’s device-to-device
patch to virtually connect audio between two hosts on the same computer. To do this, you must route through the eMotion ST
mixer (which requires a SoundGrid server).
5. You may use up to ve hosts on a single computer/driver.
