How to setup SuperRack Performer with A&H DLive

[@MalindaLowe_Universalsound]

Thanks, Joe, for taking the time to make these helpful tutorials. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@joevegna]

My pleasure. And thanks for your kind words.

very nice video. I would like to know. possible to connect waves superrack performer to Berhinger flow8? if so, we would also be impatiently waiting for the video 😊👌

[@joevegna]

I'm not sure, but it would surprise me if you can run SuperRack on a flow8. I don't have any flow8 so I can't really try.

[@SoundRyteMobileDJs]

I'm using the A&H Avantis with a Dante card and it works also

[@joevegna]

Oh, nice. I guess the setup is pretty similar?

[@westleycarter4011]

I need. more details looking to make a move can't find any tips or info on the setup for the use of thus type of setup

[@joevegna]

@@westleycarter4011Unfortunately I don’t have any A&H myself so I’m a bit limited in going more into depth. What is the specific setup you need more information about?

[@SoundRyteMobileDJs]

​@@westleycarter4011 honestly this video is straightforward on how to set it up with A&H consoles. I'm using the Dante card because that was the only thing available during covid and works just fine set up is the same, the waves card was out for a long time and they finally got restocked like a few months ago.

Great video and super timely! We just received our Waves card for dLive and I’ve been looking to test drive SuperRack Performer. Could I ask what your typical round-trip latency is with this setup? I’m going to be trying out an M1 iMac, which I assume will be good, but not great.

[@joevegna]

Well with my Mac air M1 I’m looking at around 40ms, give or take. So for smaller venues I only run FX through it. If you are looking into fully utilizing Waves you need to go for the big boy SuperRack. But for say reverb’s it’s absolutely fine. And the waves card is obviously great for tracking and virtual soundcheck as well.

[@jakevalencia8586]

How is it 40ms when its an M1 and oyu are uisiong an inboard waves card?? On USB with a 2017 i7-7700 Im getting 4ms on 64 samples??@@joevegna

[@karolandres4195]

Could you make a list of plugins that are latency free? I would love to se plugins you use and recommended(not only waves) have you ever tried to use something from newest UAD?

[@joevegna]

Since I mix 98% with the Waves LV1 mixer I don't really use SuperRack all that much. But a list of latency free plugins is actually a great idea and I will look into that. With UAD I've only really used it in the studio, not live. But I absolutely love most of their stuff.

[@BrianSimmons]

What kind of system latency are you seeing? Obviously everyone's setup will be different (and have different latency times), but I haven't seen a lot of first person information about this system with regard to latency times.

[@joevegna]

I haven’t measured. But on a smaller club stage I will hear the acoustic snare drum before hearing it from the PA. So a guess is that I’m looking at 40ms, give or take. So for small stages I only run reverbs and delays through it. And possibly lines for streaming or similar. That’s with the Mac air M1.

[@dariojavierquiroga]

Can I use Super Rack Performer without Waves Soundcard on dLive? Via Usb? Thank you for the video.

[@joevegna]

On DLive: No. The console has to be able to send receive multi tracks via usb. So for DLive you need the Waves card.

[@vstudiosamastipur]

How can i add other vst in superrack performer like fabfilter

[@joevegna]

Well as long as you have the plugins and licenses installed they should just turn up in SuperRack Performer. I did not do anything but install SRP and every plugin I had installed on the computer was in the plugin list.

[@serioushobbies9682]

plz try superrack performer with pure usb port. thank you

[@joevegna]

Absolutely. Just need to get a hold of an x32 or something. Would be interesting to see how it performs.

[@serioushobbies9682]

@@joevegna i have sq5 and try to connect usb with superrrack performer it not work becoz the sound dub and phase .i'm looking for another allen heath mixer with run smooth

[@joevegna]

@@serioushobbies9682 A bit of latency is to be expected, but there should be no dubbing. What are you using SuperRack for? Masterbus, channels, FX?

[@danielzion1210]

Bro I am using wsg card for m32 now I cannot record in iPad cubasis3 in my laptop I am using neundo it was not showing device I have wsg card server when I was not using sound grid other time only I haves this problem can you help me

[@joevegna]

Hi. To my knowledge it's not possible to record to iPad with Soundgrid. But Nuendo should be able to find Soundgrid as an audio device. Have you downloaded the ASIO driver from Waves Central (as shown in the video)? I use Reaper myself and there it's as easy as installing the ASIO driver and select Soundgrid as the sound device. Check out my video about Virtual Soundcheck, that might give som more info.
