Frequently Asked Questions - MultiRack WAVES
How do I install Waves MultiRack?
Download and run Waves Central. Log in to your account, select the MultiRack product, and follow the installation wizard. Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements and that your audio interface drivers are up to date.
Can I use third-party plugins with MultiRack?
Yes, MultiRack supports VST, AU, and AAX plugin formats. However, some plugins may introduce latency or instability. It is recommended to use Waves plugins for optimal performance, especially when using SoundGrid hardware.
How do I reduce latency in MultiRack?
Use a low-latency audio driver like ASIO or Core Audio. If using SoundGrid, enable zero-latency monitoring in the MultiRack preferences. Reduce the buffer size in your audio interface settings, but note that smaller buffers increase CPU load.
Does MultiRack work with any audio interface?
MultiRack works with any audio interface that has compatible drivers (ASIO, Core Audio, WASAPI). For best results, use a SoundGrid-compatible interface or a Waves SoundGrid server to achieve ultra-low latency.
How many plugins can I load simultaneously?
The number depends on your computer's CPU and RAM. MultiRack uses the host system resources. For live sound, it is advisable to use a dedicated SoundGrid server to offload processing and handle many plugins (e.g., up to 256 instances with a high-end server).
Can I use MultiRack without SoundGrid hardware?
Yes, MultiRack can run as a standalone application on your computer without SoundGrid hardware. However, latency will depend on your audio interface and buffer settings. SoundGrid hardware is recommended for professional live sound use.
How do I save and recall presets?
Click the Save button in the MultiRack toolbar to store a preset. To recall, use the Load button. You can also assign presets to scenes for quick recall during performances. Scenes are managed in the Scene Manager window.
What should I do if MultiRack crashes?
First, update MultiRack and your audio drivers to the latest versions. Check for conflicting software. If crashes persist, try resetting preferences by deleting the MultiRack settings file (located in your user documents folder). Contact Waves Support for further assistance.
How do I update MultiRack?
Open Waves Central and go to the Updates tab. It will list available updates for your installed products. Click Update next to MultiRack. Ensure you have a stable internet connection during the process.
Is MultiRack compatible with Pro Tools?
MultiRack can be used alongside Pro Tools as a standalone application. It can also be inserted as an AAX plugin (MultiRack plugin) within Pro Tools. For routing, use a virtual audio cable or SoundGrid driver if available.
