SG Connect
SG Connect is a feature of the SG Driver that enables an ASIO/Core Audio device to appear in the SoundGrid
Studio inventory as a SoundGrid I/O. This lets you incorporate a non-SoundGrid device in a SoundGrid network for
high-speed offload processing. When you run Auto Config and if no SoundGrid I/Os are present in the network, you
will be asked if you want to assign the SG Connect Driver. If so, it will be assigned its dedicated slot. The SG
Connect driver can be assigned only to this slot.
An assigned ASIO/Core Audio device (e.g., RME, MOTU) appears in the Local Devices assignment submenu.
Once assigned, the device will appear in the assignment menus and the
Patch just like any other device.
CONFIGURING THE DAW FOR OFFLOAD PROCESSING
1. Launch your DAW.
2. Select your audio interface’s driver as the playback engine (“Windows built-in” must use ASIO4ALL).
3. Configure your host application’s outputs as necessary.
4. Insert StudioRack on channels that will offload processing to the SoundGrid server.
STUDIORACK CONFIGURATION
1. Open the StudioRack user interface.
2. Confirm that the StudioRack Processing mode is set to select “Switch to SG.”
3. Insert up to eight SoundGrid-compatible plugins to the available slots of each StudioRack.
Please refer to the StudioRack user guide for detailed instructions.
