Keep in mind youre working with electronics and at your own risk.Hey everyone, Ive been actively trying to build a custom soundgrid server, based on the open source files provided by Waves.Ive previously documented all of my progress on GroupDIY However Ive got quite a couple of mails recently.
As the GroupDIY thread has become quite complex and because several people reported issues joining the conversation, Ive decided to set up a new topic here on GS. Soundgrid Server One Free To SharePlease read the following carefully, before posting: - do not post any download links for original Waves soundgrid server images or for files, that are not included in the open source code provided by Waves - reverse engineering any proprietary software from Waves is illegal and against the terms of use Feel free to share your experience with your custom soundgrid system or post any issues you might run into. Whats up with that source code in executable form that I can get from Waves for 10 Dont bother Its just the stuff from the website bundled together (been there, done that). What Do I get from compiling all the source code You get a bootable linux system that does nothing. So whats the best way to flash my own server If youre on Windows: - install the free SoundGrid Studio (or another Soundgrid application of your choice) - Download Rufus - insert an empty USB stick - open Rufus and toggle Show advanced drive properties (below the Partition scheme-Dropdown). You dont need to click anything here, instead click on the Boot selection-Dropdown - select Syslinux 6.04 from the Boot selection-Dropdown - hit START. Youll get some warning dialogs, as well as some dialogs where you need to allow Rufus to download syslinux. Zip - navigate to C:ProgramDataWaves AudioSoundGrid FirmwareSGS - open the.wfi file with 7-zip - extract the content to your USB stick - eject the USB stick and put it in your server If youre on macOS the files are in LibraryApplication SupportWaves SoundGrid FirmwareSGS and you can try keka instead of 7-zip. I did all of that but now my servers stuck in a loop Make sure your server has an ethernet connection to your host computer. Which motherboard should I get The motherboard Waves are using in their current servers (mid 2020) is the Gigabyte B360N GSM: Outside the US this mainboard is sold as B360N WiFi: The motherboard has two network interfaces. Make sure only one of them is enabled in the BIOS, it doesnt matter which one. What about other motherboards Even with the identical chipsets network interfaces its pretty much like tossing a coin. Please give the following information: Motherboard manufacturer model, CPU, Soundgrid OS release, successfulunsuccessful, additional comments like specific BIOS settings etc. What about AMD Soundgrid servers have been engineered and developed on Intel systems. As of mid 2020 AMD is completely unsupported. Its certainly possible that a modified version of the OS might technically run on AMD hardware. But even then theres a very high risk of performance stability issues and each new software update could potentially break compatibility. How much system memory (RAM) do I really need For a soundgrid server 4GB is absolutely fine. You can check the memory usage on your server anytime by activating the console and entering cat procmeminfo The OS itself only uses around 650mb and adding plugins in your host application will only increase memory usage by small amounts. After filling all 128 inserts in Soundgrid Studio, my memory usage had increased only by 200mb How many Watts should my PSU have Somewhere around 300W is a good choice and will handle any current Intel CPU just fine. Can I upgrade my CPU I have no hands-on experience with that, but in theory it should work just fine. Depending on what motherboard your server has, you can find the CPU compatibility list here: B360N: B150N: H81N: If you upgrade your CPU, make sure your cooler can handle the TDP and apply new thermal paste if necessary.
