Re: Waves AAX DSP New
During the conversation I had with the Waves rep at NAMM, he said a few times that the round trip latency from Pro Tools to DigiGrid and back going thru plugins was 1 millisecond. I don't know how they achieve this, but this is what the claim is.
So, while recording into Pro Tools, the idea is that your record signal path can go thru the plugins if you use DigiGrid, whereas if you were using only AAX Native plugins you couldn't. If you're only mixing or don't need to track thru plugins, then AAX Native might be sufficient. |

Was the sampling rate given for that latency figure?

Re: Waves AAX DSP New
No, sorry, I didn't ask about the sampling rate.

All but the lowest end all are around 1ms at 48Khz. Looks like a combination of real-time Linux, Intel processors and I believe the Digigrid system will have FPGA's to handle the network routing. Intel processors have dedicated pipelines for DSP type instructions and extensive DSP instruction sets. And good things are comiing from Intel: "The other major addition to the execution engine is support for Intel's AVX2 instructions, including FMA (Fused Multiply-Add). Ports 0 & 1 now include newly designed 256-bit FMA units. As each FMA operation is effectively two floating point operations, these two units double the peak floating point throughput of Haswell compared to Sandy/Ivy Bridge. A side effect of the FMA units is that you now get two ports worth of FP multiply units, which can be a big boon to legacy FP code" |

I've already answered that question. I had the decency to admit I was wrong. The chip in the SoundGride Server is not a dedicated DSP chip although as far as the end user is concerned it might as well be for all practical purposes. So.... given my reply to your post earlier in this thread, perhaps you'd allow me the decency of an answer. Am I or am I not a Waves Marketing Shill? Yes or No?

To track through a SoundGrid plug-in and route to a Pro Tools track you have to use the Emotion mixer to pick up an input from your SoundGrid input interface and THEN patch it through to Pro Tools via the Core Audio /ASIO driver and THEN set the Pro Tools track input to the corresponding output from the Emotion mixer. Then if you want to instantiate a SoundGrid plug-in on a Pro Tools track you have to route that track back to Emotion, instantiate the plug-in in Emotion and then send back to Pro Tools? You can't instantiate SoundGrid plug-ins directly within Pro Tools. The only thing that shows up in Pro Tools is the "dummy" plug in used to automate the SoundGrid plug-in running in Emotion. Alternatively Waves suggest you could route ALL your DAW outputs to Emotion and do all your mixing there. But what happens if you want to use a plug-in chain that goes > Waves Plug-in on SoundGrid > McDSP EQ in PT > then Waves SoundGrid plug-in then bleed off an aux send to Revibe in Pro Tools. That's my understanding anyway and I really I've got this wrong because it's the workflow from hell. (And I'm the Waves Marketing Shill )
