SuperRack & MultiRack Benchmarks

The table below indicates the number of plugin racks and plugins that can be inserted into SuperRack or MultiRack and loaded to the Titan SoundGrid Server before the system reaches DSP overload (85%) or fails to play audio fluently (clicks, dropouts, corruption).

The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (64 MultiRacks) for either mono or stereo. Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.

* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter.

** Plugin introduces high latency. Click here for a latency chart of all Waves plugins.

StudioRack Benchmarks

Please note: This server is not compatible with SoundGrid Rack for VENUE V10 software for Avid VENUE S6L consoles. Compatibility is coming soon.

The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (mono) or 256 (stereo) (64 or 32 StudioRacks, respectively). Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.

* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter in the eMotion ST mixer.

eMotion LV1 Benchmarks

The table below shows the server’s CPU peaks (in percentages) when used with the eMotion LV1 mixer (v10.0.65.98), SoundGrid Server firmware (v10.3.0.92 beta), and v11.0.0.98 plugins, given different server latency settings and different LV1 channel counts.
