RUN WAVES PLUGINS LIVE ON YOUR YAMAHA CONSOLE.

With SoundGrid, now you can run Waves acclaimed compressors, EQs, limiters, delays, and more, on selected Yamaha mixing consoles. Longtime favorites in top recording, mixing, and mastering studios, Waves industry-standard audio plugins are now poised to revolutionize the world of live sound.

PROCESS

Process up to 32 live audio channels in real-time with super low latency, store and recall your plugin and rack settings, take advantage of side-chain routing capabilities, control your parameters using MIDI, and safeguard your setup with SoundGrid’s redundancy and recovery safety net.

RECORD

Record MultiRack-processed tracks in real-time, direct-to-DAW in the same computer, pre- or post-processing — or both, for maximum flexibility. Best of all, there's no need for an additional computer or I/O to record your show: Simply set up your virtual routing with the new Waves Version 8 drivers, and hit Record.
