If that's not too critical then go for it.īut can I multi-track and virtual sound check AND MultiRack? I could honestly not find an answer to this on the old I will add a disclaimer, I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15" with the 2.5 ghz i7 and 16gb of ram. The downside to this is that you loose 8 physical inputs.
Why 8 returns? Because I wanted my mono busses to return stereo for stereo reverbs and delays. I then routed them back to inputs 25-32 (although you could do inputs 17-24 if you want to keep the numbers straight).
MULTIRACK NATIVE PATCH
To get this to work without using inserts I routed busses 9-12 to outputs 9-12, and then routed outputs 9-12 (actually 9-16 because you have to patch in 8s) to card outs 17-24. That's my opinion, but you can try it for yourself. I tried this on my own time but I couldn't find a reverb that I liked more than the built in options of the M32. You now have 6 fully routed and usable inserts with MultiRack! Just add your favorite Waves plugins and have fun! If you want to take it to yet another level, I did figure out one more thing you can use MultiRack for: time based effects. I chose not to use the VocalRider because I couldn't get it dialed in quite right and I ended up fighting it early on. To the right is a look at the setup I used at this past weekend's gig. Set the inputs of the racks to channels 25-30, and the outputs to channels 1-6. To set up MultiRack for this configuration, you'll first want to make sure you're connected to your M32 via USB and that it's set as the audio device in MultiRack.
To configure this, you need to patch both ends of the Insert. The system is designed to use the ¼" ins/outs on the back of the console for physical patching to external gear, but the same concept works for patching digitally to MultiRack via the USB. Therefore, I decided to run MultiRack as an insert on the channels.ĭo to the M32's lovely patching system (sarcasm), I am limited to 6 true inserts. I also demand that I'm able to multi-track the inputs, so that also weighs in. I run the P16 system either postEQ or pre-EQ depending on the channel and the artist's desires. The primary band I work with uses the P16 mixers and in-ears so I knew having any additional latency would not work. I (typically) run FOH and monitors from the same console. To understand exactly why, you need to understand how I use the console. If you're not currently using virtual sound check (or recording your gigs for that matter), go out and buy or borrow a computer with a USB port and start tracking your sessions! I knew to get started wrapping my head around MultiRack I'd need to rely on some one-on-one time with the M32 and virtual sound check.Īfter spending about an hour thinking about it and another 30 minutes experimenting I found what would be the best way to implement MultiRack. I have the wonderful fortune of having over 6 TB of live recordings that I can use for virtual sound check and that has helped me immensely. Needless to say, within 10 minutes of getting the email I had made the purchase. So for $99 you can buy MultiRack Native and you get another cool app you might use some day. But wait! For $99 you can get the "premium service" AND MultiRack Native.
MULTIRACK NATIVE FREE
A FREE application that gives rock solid multi-tracking and playback for those wanting a simple to use program. In early March, Waves announced a new program called Track Live. I've always known there was ways to use plugins live, but they've always been just out of reach. I've been mixing (via Logic Pro X) with Waves plugins for some time and I've loved what I've gotten from them. However, in the back of my mind I've always wanted more. Learning the EQ, tweaking compressor settings, and having fun seeing what the internal "plugins" do to my channels.
MULTIRACK NATIVE HOW TO
Over the last few months I've been slowly learning how to dial it in. In November of 2014 I finally took delivery of my most prized possession: a Midas M32. This post is dedicated to all of you looking to get the most out of your Midas M32 (or Behringer X32), those who are tired of scrolling through forums trying to figure out if Waves MultiRack is worth it, and those wondering how to implement MultiRack on one of these fantastic consoles.
