The CDC five control surface includes a Waves® SoundGrid® interface. This allows up to 64 channels
of Waves
®
studio-grade plug-
ins to simultaneously run alongside the console’s own native effects. It
requires the use of an external Waves
®
Server plus a PC running Waves
®
’ MulitRack
®
SoundGrid
®
with
appropriate Waves
®
licenses, all available from Waves
®
.
An example of Waves
®
SoundGrid
®
Server and Cadac integration:
Audio is streamed from the console’s integrated interface card to the SoundGrid
®
server, processed,
and then streamed back to the console via Cat-5e.
The Waves processing is patched in the same way as the Cadac I/O racks and can be used as a send
and return for effects processing, or alternatively it can be patched and used as inserts, giving great
flexibility.
More information about using Waves
®
effects please refer to the Waves
®
website.
