Rack Output Section - Waves SuperRack SoundGrid User Manual

Set the channel format (L-C-R-S, L-CL-C-CR-LS-RS-LFE, etc.), if applicable. This defines how channels are
arranged in the stream. For example, the 5.0 channel stream as shown above can be formatted as L-C-R-Ls-Rs,
L-R-C-Ls-Rs, or L-R-Ls-Rs-C. This sequence is displayed at the top of the meter.
Rack input and output do not need to be the same format, but they must be compatible. Some plugins do not have
components for all rack formats, so check to see if the plugin has the component you want before committing to a
rack format. If you attempt to patch a device channel that is patched elsewhere, you will be prompted. You can
accept the new configuration (which will remove the current patches) or select Cancel and try patching to different
I/O channels.
The input is now set, as is the structure of the rack. You can later change the number of input channels in the rack,
but this will disable plugins that do not have components that support the new channel configuration and may alter
the output format.

Rack Output Section

The output section controls rack output level and assigns I/O devices to the rack output.
I/O Channel Select
Choose an output channel from any assigned I/O device, anywhere on the SoundGrid network.
Latency Display
Shows the total latency of the Rack.
Output A/B
A rack output can be patched to two separate I/O devices. This is useful, for example, in a festival
environment where there are two console sets and you need to quickly switch from one to the other.
Device I/O patching must be identical for both rack output sets.
Output Meter
Full-scale output meters. The number of meter bars reflects the format of the output I/O (e.g., stereo, 5.1,
7.0, etc.); range: -INF to 0 dBFS.
Adjustable peak and clip indicators. Peak and clip behavior set in the Settings menu. Click on the meter
to clear indicators manually.
Rack Output Control: Range: -18 dB to +18 dB
Mute: mutes the rack.
