DIGIGRID DLS/DLI
3.2 Adding a Server
Add a server to a Pro Tools HD/HDX or HD system to move the plugin processing of chosen tracks away from the local CPU. This
dramatically increases the number of plugins that can be used simultaneously. One way to do this is to use a DLS interface, which
is equipped with an integral DSP server. The DLS is actually an I/O and a separate server, packaged together in one box. If you are
already working with a DLI, you may choose to add a separate server.
Click on the arrow to reveal the list of available servers. Select from that list. Servers that are
unavailable are grayed out.
A server cannot be shared by multiple SoundGrid host applications such as SoundGrid Studio.
Within a SoundGrid network only one computer can utilize a server’s processing power for
StudioRack and eMotion ST. Once assigned to a computer, a server remains unavailable to all
others until released by the user.
3.3 I/O Mode: Pro Tools and DLI/DLS Settings
In I/O mode, most setup takes place in Pro Tools. Playback engine, I/O devices and hardware setup are congured the same way as in
other DigiLink-compatible I/Os.
3.3.1 Pro Tools Playback Engine Settings
In I/O mode, the Pro Tools playback engine, not the SoundGrid
Studio Application, governs the Pro Tools system as well as the
DLI/DLS and manages I/O devices. Depending on the Pro Tools
HD system you are using, the audio engine will be set to either
HD TDM, HD Native, or HDX. You can conrm this in the Pro
Tools Playback window.
