I work for a touring band that does primarily 500 - 2500 person venues. I've been doing some brain cell crunching and I just can't figure out a real solution on this: Quote from: Jeff D Johnson on January 21, 2013, 05:18:14 PM Hey Everyone, Please update this thread, as I'd love to hear about your quest to be able to use plugins on house consoles. This link should be the recent announcement on Prosoundweb about the release:įull disclosure, I am on the Waves "Street Team," which means I am an independent live engineer who loved their products and volunteered to help for some benefits, such as access to their gurus. So it might be more reliable, cost effective, and relaxing to carry a small, inexpensive console with your own Multirack Digigrid system (especially if you do manual delay offsets, like you might with parallel compression between groups). And you still might get consoles that have neither Madi, pro-tools digi-links or analog inserts (like a Yamaha M7 with no cards installed). I don't know if the prices have been released, to determine if it's economical to be prepared for various situations. I think the new hardware makes using the Multirack a pro option if you love a console like the Vi6, the Midas, or anything with a Madi in/out or analog inserts. I don't know if my laptop could be reliable enough for low latency live plugin processing. So far, I have been lucky enough to get a Profile or a Digico with my customers the last few years, but I have been using a Madi based recording rig using a Macbook Pro with an RME Madiface (plus I bought the Avid card which is not super quick to install if you drop the inner screw), and it seems that Madi is very stable/reliable, but sometimes the recording fails if I don't run big buffers. My understanding is there are: different devices to handle connections for madi, pro-tools and analog inserts some boxes include DSP processing and networking to be more reliable and have less latency than just a laptop and mixing software that could enable more scene functionality/automation than just the simple Multirack. I haven't wrapped my head around all of the options, details, workflow, etc., but suffice it to say that you should check it out before choosing your strategy. Before limiting the live plugin hardware options, it should be mentioned that there are several new hardware and software Waves/Digico products designed to help with the live interface and processing of the MultiRack, called Digigrid.
