StudioRack Layer
The StudioRack layer is made up of the StudioRack instances in the Host DAW session. Each
StudioRack channel represents one StudioRack instance.
StudioRack is a plugin chainer that provides efficient parallel processing, frequency-defined chainer racks,
stereo and M/S/R input, and macro control. When used in conjunction with a SoundGrid server, plugin
processing is offloaded from the host computer to the server. This results in a significant increase in the
total number of plugins that can be used simultaneously.
When part of a SoundGrid network that includes a SoundGrid server and at least one SoundGrid I/O, a
StudioRack plugin is integrated with eMotion ST mixer. This enables low-latency monitoring and
recording, and it lets you control up to 16 StudioRacks at once.
A StudioRack that has been assigned to a SoundGrid Studio input channel will appear in the eMotion ST
StudioRack layer with the same functionality as other mixer channels.
Please refer to the StudioRack user guide to learn how to use StudioRack with a DAW and how to
offload processing to a SoundGrid server.
