Test Redundancy feature: When using a redundant SoundGrid Server, you can easily test your backup server to ensure that it is able to handle the session being processed by the main server; simply click the “Test Redundancy” button from the SoundGrid Server menu. This is especially important when the two servers are not identical.
Easily rescan licenses: If you’re preparing inserts and routing for a session without access to Waves licenses via a USB flash drive, plugins will load in a disabled state. The plugins won’t process audio, but you can assign inserts and load plugin presets. Once the licenses are connected, select “Rescan all disabled plugins” from SoundGrid Rack’s LOAD Menu and available plugins will be enabled.
