Using QREC Driver on multiple computers

Live Sound & Broadcast

Hi

As a preface to my question i will list my Setup
Allen and Heath S5000 with DM0 with Dante and Waves V3 cards.

I am using QREC as my driver with Superrack Performer and also Harrison LiveTraxx.

My Question is, am i able to use Superrack Performer on one Computer and LiveTraxx on another using the QREC Driver, currently when it is active on one PC then i can’t use it on another PC.

Cheers Dave

you need soundgrid studio

As @2327wg said, with SG studio instead of QREC you should be able to manage and route your Waves V3 card and your two computers. The free version should do. No need to assign a server or use the mixer of it, the inventory manager and patchbay is what you need.

But I think you should also be able to enable sharing of devices in QREC. Maybe these links help:

Thanks for that very helpful reply. I think I know where I have gone wrong in the past.

Cheers

… I just came across and maybe you already fixed it.

But here are some wrong understandings:

QRec isn’t a driver, it’s a host application, that can connect different drivers (f.e. the A&H driver or SG ASIO) with your application (in your case LiveTrax). SuperRack is another host application (using the very same drivers on the net!), as SG Studio is.

The benefit of QRec is, it’s a simple to setup host, which only does 1:1 patching. With SuperRack or SG Studio you can do more complex patching.

Having that said:

I assume you’re connecting either computer (the one with SuperRack Performer and the one recording with LiveTrax) to the same Waves V3 card in your dLive?

So you only need the ASIO driver on the recording computer (no QRec), all patching is done via SuperRack. Just start the ASIO on the recording computer, then add it in the inventory in SuperRack, set the needed amount of driver channels. In the “Device-to-Device” tab do your patch from Waves V3 card to your recording computer and vice versa.

That’s all. No QRec, no SG Studio on the recording computer. QRec will only be needed, if want to use the recording computer standalone (with no SuperRack in the network).

If you want to use both at the same time, things get more complicated, as you need to use I/O sharing etc.. Works also, but assuming you didn’t figure out the simple solution, the more complicated isn’t your choice (as you won’t get any benefit anyways).
