and for your DigiLink-compatible I/O devices.
Install the Waves or third-party plugins you will be using with StudioRack or eMotion ST. Native plugins and SoundGrid plugins
operate in the same manner. Their dierences are technical rather that functional, but SoundGrid plugins are necessary in
SoundGrid environments.
Licenses
DigiGrid I/O devices use Waves software and drivers to interface with your studio system. Using the DigiGrid DLI and DLS with
SoundGrid Studio doesn’t require any type of licensing. Waves-accompanying applications such as eMotion ST and StudioRack do.
Waves SoundGrid licensing is layered, so you can rst nd the system that best meets your current needs, and scale up later.
■
The StudioRack Native license allows plugin processing on local CPU. All Waves Native plugins are compatible.
■
The StudioRack SoundGrid license enables you to ooad your plugin processing to a DSP server. You can use StudioRack with
local CPU or SoundGrid processing. Requires SoundGrid plugins.
■
The eMotion ST license enables low-latency monitoring while recording, as well as complex personalized monitor mixes.
License your SoundGrid components using the Waves License Center, an application that manages licenses for all Waves products.
Consult Waves Customer Service for details about upgrading to SoundGrid plugins.
Device Firmware
Firmware is a small program that runs on your device. It enables DLI/DLS to communicate correctly with SoundGrid Studio. Each
time you update the SoundGrid Studio Application, the most recent DLI/DLS rmware in included with the updated installer. When
you next launch SoundGrid Studio, you will learn if all devices are running the most current rmware. This process is discussed in the
section “Setting Up SoundGrid Studio.”
Both DLI and DLS contain I/O rmware. DLS contains separate rmware for its server.
