Waves Soundgrid Server (DIY) screenshot
AudioZ Exclusive | 131 MB
Transform your computer into a Soundgrid Server.
With any Intel based computer (extra computer), one can create a custom Waves soundgrid server to offload Waves plugins.

SoundGrid servers are the “number crunchers” that process audio in a SoundGrid network. Audio is streamed from an ASIO, Core Audio or SoundGrid audio interface to the server, processed by the server (instead of your computer) in low latency, and streamed back to the audio interface. Audio connections are established using a SoundGrid host application.

Important notes:

This will work with only Intel CPUs with motherboards that has Intel's Gigabit NIC
This is, bootable media.
Only 4GB Storage is needed. So technically, even a pen-drive can be used as the OS drive.

This is old version, so after completing booting, users may need to update the firmware.
The procedure is exactly same as updating an actual Soundgrid server (sold by Waves and Digigrid). If anyone has the latest Soundgrid Studio installed (R2r and VR both supplied that) then the updating part takes some minute or so.

It probably have something to do with it. But this one works.

hmm I successfully ported the provided .bin image onto usb stick using imageUSB by PassMark (same utility as used for creation) but boot gets stuck on commandline message:
"ext4-fs (sda2) mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. opts (null)"

I was just testing it in a VM (booting from physical usb) but ended up with that error, I guess I'll skip this release since I'm already living without Waves anyway :)

Oh.
Then it won't work.
This will not work at all in VM

But I think, anyone who is using waves plugins and has a Intel based spare PC, can use that PC to be used as dedicated Waves SG server.
Many people want to mix/master at higher sample rates (as Waves doesn't have oversampling mode, mixing or mastering at higher sample rates yields lesser foldback Aliasing) and having a dedicated DSP will help greatly.

Guys, just get AudioGridder its free.
  Member 21.02.2020 1 309

Please.
Don't compare Audiogridder with SG server.

SG server is a stripped down Linux distro which only does nothing but audio related calculation. Even the graphic driver is stripped out mostly in the SG Server Image and you can understand how they can perform. They only does one thing and that is perform the audio related calculations.
Audiogridder runs on a computer and has way much more latency than SGS.


ALSO, IF YOU DON'T WANT IT, JUST DON'T DOWNLOAD IT.

do you need dedicated LAN cards or how do you offload the processing from your local PC?
  Member 21.02.2020 1 309

Every PC has a lan in their motherboard.
For using host (where you DAW resides), any PC will do.
But if you want to build SGS, use an intel based CPU with a motherboard with on board Intel gigabit NIC.

Well, surprisingly, this is 130 MB.
If you unrar it, you will get 3.5 GB.
I was amazed too, but this is what it is.
Definitely not April fools.

Thanks for your work. Not gonna use it, but it'll make some people happy. I thought Soundgrid is primarily used with live Audio..
