🎚 Run Studio Sound Live: How I Use Waves SuperRack Performer

Let’s talk about something that completely changed the way I approach live shows.
Because for years, I used to think getting that studio-quality mix on stage meant bringing a trailer full of gear or paying thousands for a perfect venue mix.
Turns out, all you really need is a laptop — and the right plugins.

That’s where Waves SuperRack Performer comes in.

Add Waves + Any VST3 Plugins to Any Live Setup

You can literally take your studio sound on the road.
Whether you’re performing in a club, a church, or a rooftop show, all you need is your Mac or PC, your interface, and your plugins.

SuperRack Performer lets you run Waves or any VST3 plugin directly in your live rig — no extra hardware, no SoundGrid server, nothing complicated.
Just plug in, load your favorite chains, and go.

I’m talking about running the same chains from my ALEXSOY Vocal Template live:
R-Vox → C6-SC → MannyM Triple D → H-Reverb → L1 Limiter.
The result? My show sounds just like my record.

Get the Exact Live Sound You Want

This setup gives you total control.
You can insert plugins for every instrument — dial in perfect vocal tuning, add FX, make your drums tight and punchy, eliminate feedback, or build your own analog-style chain on the mix bus.

No matter where you perform, you’re not relying on someone else’s system to make you sound good.
You’re bringing your own sound — the one your fans fell in love with.

Take Control of Your Show

Most artists leave their live mix in someone else’s hands.
But when you start using Waves or any VST3 plugins live, you take that control back.

You’re no longer limited by bad monitors or weird room acoustics.
You can fix those issues on the spot using tools like X-FDBK, F6, and PSE, so the show always hits hard and clean.

It’s not about overcomplicating your setup — it’s about empowering your performance.

Why I Love SuperRack Performer

SuperRack Performer is the native plugin host that makes it all possible.
It’s optimized for both Waves and third-party VST3 plugins, meaning you can build the exact processing chain you love without changing a thing.

It runs up to 64 stereo plugin racks, syncs via USB with digital consoles, and is stable enough for any live show with minimal latency.
And if you want to control it from across the venue, the mRecall and MixTwin iPad apps give you full remote access.

The best part?
You can save snapshots for every song.
That means your sound evolves with your set — new song, new mix, instant recall.

My Live Setup

My rig is simple:
MacBook Pro → Apollo Solo Interface → Behringer X32 → SuperRack Performer.

Everything stays connected via USB and Core Audio.
From there, I just load my Vocal Template chain and route it exactly how I do in the studio.
The mix feels familiar, the vocals sit perfectly, and the transitions between songs are seamless.

If you’ve ever played a show where you felt like the mix didn’t do you justice — this solves it.

Studio Sound, Anywhere You Go

Modern music depends on plugins.
They shape the tone, depth, and emotion behind every song.
So why leave them behind when you perform live?

SuperRack Performer gives you the freedom to bring your studio to the stage.
No matter where you are, your audience hears you exactly how you intended — polished, powerful, and real.

Simplicity Meets Power

You don’t need to overthink it.
SuperRack works like a natural extension of your mixer — whether it’s digital or analog.
Setup is simple, routing is fast, and everything loads efficiently so you can focus on performing, not troubleshooting.

Plus, it’s designed to be rock-solid under pressure.
Once you dial in your settings, they stay locked.
Minimal latency, zero stress, all control.

The Game-Changer: VST3 Support

Waves recently updated SuperRack Performer to support any VST3 plugin.
That means if you love FabFilter, Antares, or Slate plugins — they’ll all run right here next to your Waves chain.

And with immersive audio support (5.1.4, 7.1.4, 9.1.4), you can even take this setup into live broadcast or 3D-audio environments.
It’s basically future-proof.

Real-World Ready

Not every show happens in a perfectly tuned venue.
Sometimes it’s a restaurant, a multipurpose hall, or a rooftop with too much reverb.
That’s where plugins like X-FDBK, F6, and eMo D5 step in to fix feedback, balance frequencies, and stabilize your mix in seconds.

When I started using this system, I realized I no longer had to fight bad rooms — I just adapted to them.

Final Thoughts

If you want your shows to sound exactly like your studio sessions, SuperRack Performer is the bridge.
It’s how I keep consistency between what I produce and what I perform.

So next time you’re getting ready for a live set, remember:
You don’t need more gear — you just need the right setup.
