SuperRack SoundGrid / User Guide
48
CERTAIN DEVICE MENU ITEMS APPLY ONLY TO DRIVERS.
When the SG ASIO/Core Audio driver is assigned to a SuperRack, you can add a DAW to
the system for recording and playback. The DAW host must be running a SoundGrid host,
such as QRec or SoundGrid Studio.
Menu Item
Possibilities
Function
Set Main
Main: checked/unchecked
Assigns this driver as the main driver or the backup (usually a
DAW/recorder). If more than one driver is selected, they become
the backup drivers.
Driver Channels
Range: 32–128 channels,
and Auto
Default: 32 channels
Sets the number of channels assigned to the SoundGrid
ASIO/Core Audio driver. A higher number of driver channels can
increase network load and may require more buffering. AUTO
assigns the maximum number of driver channels available, based
on the number of input and output device channels.
Driver Network Buffer
(Values in samples)
Range @ 44.1–48 kHz:
104, 144, 192, 240, 288,
336, 384, 432,
480, 528, 576, 1024
Range @ 88.2–96 kHz:
208, 256, 304, 352, 400,
448, 496, 544,
592, 640, 1088
The network buffer helps the OS send synchronized information
between the ASIO/Core Audio drivers and the I/Os through the
network port. When many channels are going in/out of the
driver(s) to several destinations, the Driver Network Buffer size
may need to be increased to reduce the possibility of audio drops
or artifacts as a result of overloading the network port driver.
All host computers on the SoundGrid network should have the same up-to-date version of SuperRack
and SoundGrid Studio software installed. Device firmware should match the host applications. You can
download and install the latest versions from Waves Central.
