The Waves SuperRack Software is a natural extension of your mixing console. Designed for quick setup time, flexible touch-friendly workspace, and unlimited workflow customization, the SuperRack enables FOH, monitor, broadcast, and AV engineers to run any show with speed and confidence.
The Waves SuperRack Software lets you discover the next generation of live plugin processing. Run plugins in real time, customize your workspace with floating windows, set extended-scope snapshots, and run any live show with more speed and confidence than ever before with the Waves SuperRack Software. Designed from the ground up and optimized for speedy operation, the Waves SuperRack is a cutting-edge plugin rack that lets live sound and broadcast engineers run up to 64 stereo racks (multi-channel racks are supported) through multiple instances of Waves’ plugins, with near-zero latency (in SoundGrid mode). The Waves SuperRack offers endless customization options that make it easy for you to tailor the application to your very own mixing workflow. The Waves SuperRack operates in either Native mode, which handles plugin processing on the CPU of your Mac/PC, with any ASIO/Core audio interface, or in SoundGrid mode, which handles plugin processing on an external SoundGrid DSP server to significantly increase plugin count, minimize latency, and enable the host and I/O devices to be far apart from each other, to accommodate complex setups.
Run Plugins with Near-Zero Latency
Deliver award-winning sound quality with near-zero latency. The Waves SuperRack is powered by Waves’ SoundGrid® technology, which provides you with real-time processing, using state-of-the-art tools trusted by countless Grammy-winning engineers.
Set Up Any Show Quickly and Easily
The Waves SuperRack is designed with user experience in mind. Using the setup wizard, the system scans and identifies all connected devices and configures them automatically. Link multiple racks together and adjust their parameters simultaneously to prevent redundant work. Instantly switch the order of plugins within each rack, copy plugins and their presets from channel to channel, add hardware processors as external inserts on your plugin racks, and much more.
Tailor the System to Your Workflow
Customize the workspace to your unique workflow by setting up and recalling snapshots with comprehensive scope, for plugin position, tempo, windows, worksurface setup, and much more. Use Custom Layers to combine the most important racks from your session into one view. Control the Waves SuperRack using User Assignable Keys, a MIDI device, and the computer keyboard.
Enjoy a Flexible, Touch-Optimized Workspace
Connect up to 4 touchscreens to unlock more workspace control and visibility into your session than ever before. Control your plugins with precision using a touch-and-slide fader to control small parameters that are tricky to adjust with just your fingertips.
Run the Show with Confidence
To ensure your system is stable and reliable, the Waves SuperRack lets you configure SoundGrid server redundancy and system mirroring. The Waves SuperRack also offers detailed network monitoring and device status, allowing you to view event logs for both the application and the network when needed.
Expand Your Plugin Processing Power with Quad DSP
With the latest version of the Waves SuperRack, you can quadruple the number of SoundGrid DSP servers connected to your Waves live system: SuperRack now allows you to connect up to four active servers and four redundant servers at a time, so you can enjoy more plugin processing power in your live shows than ever before.
