SoundGrid Studio/ User Guide
84
• The SoundGrid panel is used to establish a link between each StudioRack and the mixer.
•
Setup Window
Indicates SoundGrid server status. When green, the server is working properly. Red indicates
a missing server, whether removed from the rack, turned off, disconnected, or faulty. All
StudioRacks will mute when server is missing.
Click on the WSG button to access the SoundGrid Studio Setup window.
DSP percent
Shows the average DSP use of all cores in the server.
Voices
Displays the number of SoundGrid Studio channels being used between the StudioRack
and the eMotion mixer. This is independent of the voices used in the DAW. A mono
StudioRack takes one voice, a stereo StudioRack requires two, and a side chain requires
one more.
SoundGrid/Native
Switch between SoundGrid and Native modes. This must be set to SG to link the StudioRack
with the mixer.
Monitor Source
Selector
Sets the I/O that will serve as input to the server when the StudioRack is in Input. The
StudioRack will not appear in the mixer if this is not set.
PB/Input/Auto
Controls the monitor status of the StudioRack. When set to PB, audio is played from the DAW.
When set to Input, such as during recording, the signal is “hijacked” and sent to the server for
faster processing. Auto
Group
Assigns several StudioRacks to a group for switching between Input, Playback, and Auto
modes. When Group is selected pm a StudioRack, it is a member of the switching group.
Change the mode of any StudioRack and the others will follow.
Mixer Access
Click to open the StudioRack layer of the mixer.
