The software opens to an empty box, into which you install effects racks. MultiRack has an easy learning curve the only tricky part was assignment of hardware I/O to the virtual rack (details below). MultiRack does not host plug-ins from other manufacturers, and it requires an iLok (not included). ItвЂ™s important to realize the MultiRack is a platform, and although Waves bundles it with IR-L (convolution reverb) and H-Delay (echo), youвЂ™ll probably need to purchase additional software. WavesвЂ™ HDelay (Hybrid Delay) is one of two plug-ins bundled with the MultiRack software.

I ran MultiRack Native on a MacBook (2GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM) as well as on a Mac Pro Duo (2Г—2.66GHz dual-core, 5GB RAM), using MOTU Traveler-mkmk3 as well as Avid Digi 002 Rack interfaces. MultiRack SoundGrid runs in tandem with YamahaвЂ™s WSG-Y16 mini YGDAI expansion card in a variety of Yamaha digital mixers. The subject of this review is MultiRack Native, which runs on PC or Mac. MultiRack comes in two flavors: Native and SoundGrid. Waves Audio has answered the call with its MultiRack, a virtual rack that runs Waves Native plug-ins and works with a wide variety of audio interfaces. IвЂ™m familiar with Muse Research products, but they donвЂ™t have sufficient analog I/O, and they only run VST plug-ins. And as I already travel with a laptop, the only addition to my road pack would be the audio interface.

The ability to host plug-ins under a shell that has the I/O of a digital audio workstation without the recording capabilities would eliminate the need to carry a ton of rack hardware and allow use of my favorite plugs with most analog consoles. The Session screen lets MultiRack users load up to 64 racks with eight plug-ins each.ДЇor the past few years, IвЂ™ve been awaiting a hardware plug-in player that would run in the same manner I employ analog inserts on a live sound console. Plug-ins on the go from a virtual processing rack.
