I assume Stacks in global are the best way to connect multiple mic.
Question is:
How to reuse a SEND plugin on multiple Stacks?
How to put more than 4 plugins on a Stack?
If i want route multiple stacks to one channel and polish it with few more plugins before sending it to the stereo output, how to do it?
Like Stereo Out, can there be one/more input channel (for each mic), so all inputs can be processed separate/together (shared processing to save CPU) before going to its own stacks?
Like cubase is there a channel rack for pre-process before coming to the stack plugins?
Waves’ StudioRack will allow you to hang more than four plugins on a stack
and it will also be possible to automate turning on and off unnecessary plugins, and the plus is that it is free)
The best way to do so is to use FX plugins in MIXER Channels and send signal there. Just a bit forget that STACKS has four internal insert options and two internal FX’s and look forward to STACKs mixer channels… their channels can use 8pcs of inserts and 8pcs of sends… (all is on the top of the STACK container’s internal inserts).
Examples
Global STACK-1 : Vocal 1
Global STACK-2 : Vocal 2
Global STACK-3 : Vocal 3
Global STACK-4 : Vocal 4
Insert an EQ + compresso / Stack (that will be “personalised” / vocalist )
Then goto Mixer view
add a GROUP channel and insert a reverb in it
add again a group channel and insert a delay in it
Then click “e” for each STACK’s channels, visible in the mixer
click SEND1 and route it to reverb group
click SEND2 and route it to delay group
Repeat for each vocal stacks.
can you guess the possible latency and CPU core utilisation if loading a huge plugin container on a single signal chain that needs to be processed live as fast as it is possible?
why all at once, naturally automation will turn on the desired effect and turn it off when it is not needed, there can be at least 10 different ones, but not all of them will be turned on, but only those that are needed, and the disabled plugin does not load the processor.
And if you look at it like that, then for example for a guitar, then it’s easier to install 1 Mercuriall Ampbox plugin and cover all your needs, everything is automated inside, if you want, change the amplifiers, switch channels, if you want, switch pedals
Is there a input channel concept so i can put some gate plugin to reduce room noise for all/selected stacks? Waves Clarity Vx is a good one, but using more than one plugin may use too much CPU and cause latency, so if i could route all vocal signals via this input channel, then if we could route it to its respective stacks, it would be nice. Am not sure if this is possible, but checking…
Stacks are like Input Channels. And you can route multiple Stack Channels in the Mixer to a Group Channel and insert the gate and whatever else there.
You can also chain Group Channels, so if 8 sends are not enough, use one to send to another Group Channel and you got 7 more and so on.
Is it possible to put one gate plugin (waves Clarity Vx) for all the mic input signals coming in? If i put the wave clarity Vx on each stack/input channels, it will be more CPU processing and increased latency.
Leave the stacks empty no plug-ins , go to mixer, create a GROUP (global) or SONG GROUP (song related) then set every stack channel output (top of the channel strip) routing to the group.
You’ll have all stacks routed to the group, then you can push the “e” button on the group channel and insert 8 plugins here.
You can always route the group to another group to add more, or use parallel sends pre or post fader etc etc, lots of possibilities!!
