3. SUGGESTED USES AND CONFIGURATIONS
There are many ways to use your DiGiGrid IOS. Your existing (or future) equipment, how you work, and what you need to accomplish
are factors to consider when incorporating an IOS into your studio. Project studios with one or two DAWs can share I/O resources,
with any of the computers involved capable of claiming the server. Studios with several rooms and many DAWs can stream
audio between rooms, quickly swap out devices, and assign DSP processing. But no matter how simple or complex your setup is,
connecting an IOS involves only one cable, an Ethernet Cat 5e or Cat 6.
3.1 One Computer with a DiGiGrid IOS
This is the most basic studio conguration. It includes a host computer with a native DAW and a single DiGiGrid IOS that connects
microphones, instruments, headphones, and monitors to the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver. This driver controls the network
and all its devices. The built-in DSP server enables you to ooad plugins processing from the DAW, greatly increasing the number of
plugins you can use simultaneously. It also provides you with the eMotion ST mixer and Studio Rack plugin to create personalized
monitor mixes with up to 72 inputs.
