In this video, Brent from Studio One Experts takes a look at Waves StudioRack, a powerful plugin chainer – now with enhanced features that include parallel processing racks, multi-band split racks, and quick-access macros to create your own custom plugins.
How StudioRack Works
Thinking in terms of chains not individual processors, is a hallmark of the best producers and engineers, and this workflow is at the heart of the way StudioRack works, placing the power of plugin chain creation in your hands.
StudioRack allows you to build intricate chains of up to 8 plugins from just one DAW insert and save them for instant recall. The latest version of StudioRack introduces new powerhouse features:
Parallel processing racks: Split your audio, from any point in any chain, into parallel mono, stereo and M/S racks – to add more punch, space, and presence to your signal, without having to create complex routings in your DAW.
Multiband split racks: Turn any Waves plugin into a multiband processor, with detailed control over your crossover points.
8 macros per chain: Combine parameters from different plugins in your chain into quick-access macro controls – essentially enabling you to build your own ‘custom plugins.’
Save and Search
The new StudioRack introduces easy plugin search, to instantly find and recall your custom plugins, mapped how you want them, to view and control multiple plugins simultaneously.
Your rack can save entire chains with their internal routings, and re-open them in any DAW – making collaboration with producers and mixers a cinch.
StudioRack is also compatible with Waves’ SoundGrid Studio, giving you the option to offload all plugin processing to a SoundGrid server, in order to mix plugin-rich sessions unlimited by your computer’s CPU.
