DOC02-Using Waves Tracks Live - Issue C - July 2016
The Waves ports are accessed via the assign input /send screen of each channel on the console,
shown below:
To use Waves, the channel assignment window ‘
Assign input’
, ‘
Assign send
’
etc. may be used to
configure any desired signal path / mix involved in taking audio from, or sending audio to, the Tracks
DAW.
If you playback audio from Track 1 (SoundGrid 1) on the computer:
• This track may be heard when ‘
From Waves 1
’ is assigned as an input on a channel
assignment on the console, and sent to the ‘
I/O rack
’ output for the speaker
• If you assign an input to another channel from ‘
I/O rack
’ input audio source on the CDC six
• Send this channel to ‘
To Waves 2
’ then this may be monitored/recorded at Track2 on the
computer.
Note:
It is important to note that the console’s local I/O or AES ports, and the Waves I/O ports 1- 16,
share the same internal resource on the CDC six. In addition, Waves output 63 and 64 are not
available as they internally used for the headphone outputs.
Be aware of this selecting which SoundGrid channels/track numbers you use. It is easy to get some
loud distortion or feedback paths by accident….
