2.1.13 Automatic Recovery ...........................................................
As MultiRack SoundGrid is an application for live usage, it is equipped with an automatic recovery mechanism. This means that if
MultiRack SoundGrid quits unexpectedly, it will automatically re-launch and re-open the same Session file it was running when it crashed,
with the same Snapshot that was recalled when the crash occurred (if applicable). While MultiRack SoundGrid re-launches itself,
streaming and processing audio continues without interruption; only user control is lost until MultiRack SoundGrid reloads its Session.
Any signal routed to Waves is output direct from the SD engine into the SoundGrid IO Card (fitted to the SD Console). It then passes
through the network connection to the SoundGrid server for processing, and then returns back to the SoundGrid IO Card and into the SD
engine.
If the SD application detects that any part of the SoundGrid system is not longer able to pass audio, or communication with any element of
the SoundGrid system is lost, the SD engine automatically places the Waves IO port into loopback mode.
While loopback is enabled, audio will return to the console as routed, but without any processing applied (ie.. the correct signal, but
without EQ, dynamics, reverb etc)
When the SD application detects that normal SoundGrid operation has resumed, loopback mode is released, and the audio returning from
the Waves routing will be processed as required.
There may be a short mute period when loopback is enabled or disabled.
