Waves Audio has released Version 13 of Waves SoundGrid, including two all-new applications: Waves MyFOH, a tablet app for remote control of the Waves eMotion LV1 live mixer, and Waves mRecall, a mobile app for remote snapshot/scene recall of Waves live sound (eMotion LV1 & SuperRack) and Waves Commercial Audio systems.
Additionally, V13 includes updated versions of Waves SoundGrid applications including the eMotion LV1 live mixer, SuperRack live plug-in rack, MyMon personal monitor mixing app, SoundGrid QRec app for live recording and playback, and SoundGrid Studio.
The new Waves MyFOH tablet app has been a highly-requested feature from live sound engineers using the Waves eMotion LV1 live mixer. MyFOH allows front-of-house engineers to control the LV1 over WiFi, from any iPad or Android tablet, and shape the live mix from anywhere in a venue. With MyFOH, engineers can evaluate a mix from the vantage point of the audience and adjust levels, panning etc, for individual channels as well as groups, auxes, FX groups, DCAs and matrixes. MyFOH also allows correction of levels for front fills and delays, which can be impossible to judge from the static FOH position.
When handling both FOH and monitor duties at a show, MyFOH can be used next to the musicians on stage (rather than attempting effective communication from across the venue), creating a more personal, nuanced experience for all.
Waves mRecall is an iOS/Android app for quickly recalling scenes and snapshots created on Waves’ live systems and Waves’ Commercial Audiosystems. Working over WiFi on smartphones and tablets, mRecall is a quick way to recall preprogrammed audio settings, both in live shows and in A/V installations. In live shows, mRecall allows remote recall of snapshots created on the Waves eMotion LV1 live mixer or the Waves SuperRack live plug-in rack. On installed Waves Commercial Audio systems, mRecall allows end-users to recall pre-programmed snapshots, without needing access to the equipment rack.
In addition, the Waves SuperRack live plug-in rack now supports up to four active and four redundant Waves SoundGrid servers, running together on one Waves SoundGrid live processing system. This allows live sound engineers to massively expand their processing power for live shows.
The Waves eMotion LV1 live mixer now supports the MyFOH and mRecall remote apps. The V13 update also adds several features requested by users, including new routing and channel selection options.
All Waves SoundGrid applications, including the MyMon personal monitor mixing app and the SoundGrid QRec app for live recording and playback, feature additional bug fixes and performance improvements.
Waves SoundGrid V13 is the latest in Waves’ ongoing updates for engineers, musicians and all audio personnel.
