Now here’s a dirty little secret: The 16.4.2AI’s mic inputs always feed the digital direct outputs, even when you set the channel input to digital return or when you mute the channel (though you won’t hear it through the main house mix bus). Take for example the PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2AI (see the June 2014 issue of Electronic Musician for a complete review): The StudioLive 16.4.2AI features 16 analogue mic inputs, but since it also functions as a multichannel recording interface, it provides 16 digital direct outs and 16 digital returns via FireWire (actually, more, but that’s another story). MultiRack Native can be incorporated much more elegantly when using mixers that also function as audio interfaces. This arrangement enabled us to run our favourite plug-in EQs and compressors on any analogue desk, and believe us some of those older desks had terrible onboard EQ! In Figure 1 you’ll see six of the eight racks used in this configuration, with each rack dedicated to a Traveler I/O. Additional I/Os are assigned in a similar manner. The Traveler I/Os are routed within MultiRack so that input to rack 1 is fed from Traveler Input 1, and output of rack 1 is fed to Traveler Output 1. Some analogue consoles actually have separate ¼-inch send and return jacks for the channel inserts, in which case separate cables can be used for input and output.) As far as the console is concerned, the “effect” in this case is the Traveler, but it’s really serving as MultiRack’s A/D and D/A. (Most analogue inserts employ a single TRS connector for send and return, the TRS end of the input cable is plugged into the console and the other end of the cable breaks out to two ¼-inch TS connectors that connect to the input and output of the processor.

The Traveler has eight analogue I/Os that can patch into just about any desk. We’ve used MultiRack with a MOTU Traveler audio interface to process input channels on older analogue mixing consoles. Once you’ve got those basics down, it’s all about the application. The open plug-in menu displays available EQs. Each rack has independent audio I/O and plug-ins that are accessed by clicking the + symbol in the rack. 1: Six racks added to a MultiRack session. I see a few of the behringer X32 Rack mixers going cheap now in the second hand market, would make a nice head end for a sound grid server with masses of balanced I/O ,totally stand alone ,Ĭould also work great as superpowered stagebox/splitter/mic amps/monitor/main outs and processing everything controlled from a front of house X32 via a single CAt5 cable, life would never have been so simple for the sound engineer on the road. To authenticate or verify or phone home or check licenceing ,surely ?

Now you need a second pc to run the daw end, that pc has SG software on it, that wants ,presumably Let say we can get an image of a box fully loaded with plugs, and get it running , Ok so lets assume we have the hardware side in the bag ,

I think I read the OS is run from a usb memory plugged into the motherboard, it runs a live image with a ramdisk, Ive run up a few varieties of linux over the years and that OS might have enough drivers onboard to handle the multiple platforms used by SG.

Maybe a laptop with a similar intel chipset and a smashed screen would be a perfect candidate for experimenting ,
