What is the SoundGrid network?
The SoundGrid network is the road your music travels on. It’s the Internet for sound. It’s what allows your DAW to offload its plugin processing. It’s what allows your devices to communicate with one another and with your friends’ devices. The SoundGrid network is what gives you the power to do more.
Here’s how it works:
- Connect all your audio devices to the SoundGrid network using a SoundGrid I/O
- Setup / route your devices from within the SoundGrid Studio application
- Instantly achieve real-time:
- Networking
- Processing (using StudioRack and a SoundGrid DSP server)
- Monitoring (using eMotion ST Mixer)
SoundGrid Studio Application:
SoundGrid Studio is an application for managing the SoundGrid network’s hardware and software devices on your host computer. An open platform that seamlessly integrates with all DAWs and SoundGrid-compatible I/Os, SoundGrid Studio provides endless possibilities for setups of every size, from a single DAW with one SoundGrid I/O, to a whole network of host computers, I/Os and SoundGrid DSP servers.
The SoundGrid Studio ASIO/Core Audio driver and dynamic I/O mapping ability let you configure your network, manage its various components and set up any combination of SoundGrid-compatible devices. The system’s configuration module lets you assign and route virtual and hardware devices, while enabling I/O sharing between several computers, whose resources are managed from the designated host computer.
