The full license of Waves SoundGrid Rack for VENUE S6L Mixing Consolerack plug-in software is the heart of the company's SoundGrid software and hardware integration with the Avid VENUE | S6L mixing console. Ideal for demanding live environments, it enables front-of-house, monitor, and broadcast engineers to run SoundGrid-compatible plug-ins directly within the S6L, with tactile control from the console's surface knobs and no need for a computer host or external network switch.

The software moves plug-in processing from the VENUE engine to a SoundGrid server (available separately), allowing you to run up to 128 mono or 64 stereo SoundGrid Rack instances at 96 kHz, and with minimum system latency. You can load up to eight SoundGrid-compatible plug-ins per instance of SoundGrid Rack. All standard VENUE plug-in features apply, including Config and Show modes, delay compensation, snapshot automation, and detailed tactile control of plug-in parameters.

SoundGrid Rack can be configured to work with a second SoundGrid DSP server (available separately) for redundancy with automatic failover protection against live sound system failure.

Q: 10. Is the Dugan Automixer still included on 8channels?

A: Yes it does: How the AUTOMIXER works: The TF series AUTOMIXER uses the Dugan speech system, which automatically adjusts the gain of up to 8 mics. Unlike limiters or auto-level controllers, the Dugan speech system lets the engineer control individual levels as usual, even when more than one person is talking at the same time. Also, the audio on the mics is detected and the gain is automatically distributed when no one is talking, so the faders can be left up When one person talks, the gain on that mic instantly rises, and the gain on other mics is lowered. This works the same when another person speaks. When two people talk at the same time, the gain between the two mics is automatically distributed to provide a uniform total gain, and the gain on the remaining mic is lowered. NOTE: • The AUTOMIXER is placed directly after the channel ON for CH1–CH8. • When the Pre button for SEND TO AUX on CH1–CH8 is off, signal is sent from directly after the AUTOMIXER to the AUX bus. • When CH1–CH8 are stereo linked together, the AUTOMIXER parameters will not be linked.
