SoundGrid Rack for VENUE GUI

Now live engineers can run up to 64 stereo virtual racks, each containing up to 8 Waves plugins, directly within Avid’s VENUE | S6L console—with tactile control from the console’s surface knobs. SoundGrid Rack for VENUE makes it possible, with no computer host or external network switch.

Complete the system with the WSG-HD Waves SoundGrid Option Card, VENUE software v5.7 or later, a Waves SoundGrid server to process the plugins, and Waves plugin licenses of your choice.
