MaxxStream User Manual

Intuitive User Interface

With its user-friendly GUI and more than 80 factory presets, MaxxStream takes the guess work outof creating streaming configurations.

State-of-the-Art Audio Bit Depth

Waves maintains its commitment to superior audio quality by using 32-bit floating point doubleprecision processing throughout MaxxStream. Live StreamingMaxxStreams live stream conditioning operates transparently between the audio source and the

encoding software.

Full Windows SupportCompatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003.

24/7 Monitoring

MaxxStream includes a Watchdog utility as well as basic SNMP monitoring and control.

1.3 Concepts and Terminology

MaxxStream streams audio from the selected audio device through Waves plug-ins for processing,

to the selected Waves Virtual Driver instance. Audio may also be streamed back to the sound cardfor monitoring.

MaxxStream Audio Flow

Waves Virtual Driver

Waves Virtual Driver is kernel audio streaming driver which connects MaxxStreams output to

multiple WDM applications. It is especially designed to be synchronized with the audio card clockand provide a smooth audio stream to the encoder.

Mono/Stereo

MaxxStream accepts stereo input and produces stereo output. When Mono input is selected,MaxxStream duplicates the single channel to produce stereo input. The duplicated stream is in

effect a dual mono stream.

Station Files & Preset Files

MaxxStream supports 3 types of preset files:

1. Plug-in Preset File (file extension .xps)Plug-in preset files contain settings for individual plug-ins. Plug-in presets may be saved

& loaded using the Save/Load button on the plug-in GUI. Plug- in presets may only be

loaded by the plug-in by which they were created.

2. Rack Preset File (file extension .xps)Rack Preset Files contain settings for the MaxxStream rack as well as all loaded plug- ins.

Rack Preset Files are saved & loaded using the Save/Load button in the Rack GUI, and

may also be loaded from the Open Station menu item.

Rack Preset Files include:

Rack output gain Rack bypass status

Plug-in chain Plug-in bypass state

Plug-in enable state

Plug-in A and B setups

3. Station Preset File (file extension .xpm)

Station Preset Files contains all Rack and plug-in settings as well as Audio Setupparameters. Station Files are saved & loaded using the Save/ Open Station commands inthe File menu.

Supported Plug-ins

MaxxStream is designed to work with the following Waves plug-ins:

AudioTrack Renaissance Vox

L1 Ultramaximizer

C1 Parametric Compander C4 Multiband Compressor

MaxxBass S1 Stereo Imager

Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer DeEsser

Please visit www.waves.comfor more information on these plug-ins.

Chapter 2 Quickstart Guide

First, start a streaming session.Under File, choose New Station. This will open up the Audio

Setting dialog where you choose your basic settings. Please be sure to choose the correct sample

rate and buffer size before proceeding.

Then, begin streaming audio.Open your encoder and choose Waves Virtual Driver as your inputsource. Now you can activate your encoder.

Now, youre ready to begin audio processing. Start adding Waves plug-ins by clicking on the

arrow located on the left side of the Rack and selecting a plug-in from the list. You can add up to 8

plug-ins per instance. Drag them to change their order and change your sound. Or, load aMaxxStream presets and tweak it to suit your requirements.

Its easy to adjust plug-in parameters. Click on the plug-in icon inside the Station window to

open its Graphic User Interface for full access to the audio settings.

Now your audio stream is being processed by Waves plug-ins. Press the Monitor button tohear the audio through the device you have selected for monitoring in the Audio Setup.

Compare and contrast your sound.By using Bypass, you can hear the audio stream with and

without Waves processing. You can also use the A/B function on the WaveSystem toolbar to

compare different setups. (See Chapter 4 for further details.) Note that if you are monitoring thestream through the streaming player (e.g. Windows Media player), you will experience a delay of

about 20sec between the time you change your setting and the time youll hear the changeseffect. This delay is due to the encoders buffering engine.

14/27


3.4 WatchdogMaxxStream is equipped with a Watchdog utility which runs in the background and restarts theapplication in case of a crash. If the application freezes (becomes non-responsive), the watchdog

terminates the application and then restarts it.

After a crash, a preset file is loaded according to the following rules:If a recovery file has been selected, then the recovery file is loaded. See the System Preferences

section for more information regarding the recovery file.If a recovery file has not been selected or cannot be found, the last preset file is loaded.

If the last preset file cannot be found, the application is restarted without a preset file. In this case,

there is no Open Station. We recommend defining a recovery preset file location (underFile>Preferences).

Certain ASIO devices (e.g. Digidesign HD hardware) might take a long time to instantiate.

MaxxStream Watchdog might falsely recognize the long instantiation times as unresponsivenessand will restart the application. This will result in repeated shutdown/restart scenario in which

MaxxStream fails to load.

To avoid this, adjust the Watchdog timeout by setting the required timeout length (in milliseconds)

by editing the MaxxStreamWatchdog.conf file which is located in the main application directory andrebooting your computer (Default timeout is 5 seconds). See Appendix C for a sample of the

Watchdog configuration file.

3.5 Controlling MaxxStream via SNMP

General

MaxxStream is equipped with basic SNMP control and monitoring. SNMP provides the means tomonitor and control MaxxStream behavior from a remote machine using standard SNMP client

software. (A more detailed description of SNMP is beyond the scope of this manual.)MaxxStreams SNMP support allows for scheduled preset loading and application monitoring.

See Appendix A for consideration on operating net-snmp agent along with Windows SNMP agent.

The MIB

The MIB is a database that defines the attributes that MaxxStream exposes to the SNMP client. TheMaxxStream MIB is designed as a table. Each row in the table defines a single MaxxStream

instance which is equivalent to a station. The link between the row and the MaxxStream instance isthe Station ID.

See Appendix B for a description of WAVES-SNMP-MIB.

Once connected, the SNMP client SW can display the following information on the MaxxStreaminstance (also referred as Station):

MaxxStream Instance ID (read-only)

14


15/27


Station Name (read-only)

Loaded Preset File (read-write)

Station keep-alive counter (read-only). The keep-alive counter is incremented by theapplication once a second. It indicates that the station is alive.

Station Row Status (read-only). The station Status is Up when the MaxxStream applicationwith matching ID is Up regardless of whether a station file is loaded. The station Status is

Down when the application exits.

MaxxStream Station ID

The Station ID is an arbitrary number that is used to identify the station by the remote SNMP

client.

MaxxStream can be launched with the station ID as a command line parameter. If the ID is notsupplied in the command line, MaxxStream searches for the first available ID and uses it. The ID is

released when the application exits.

The ID is displayed in square brackets in the application caption.

Setting Up an SNMP Connection

1. Install the client SNMP SW on the remote machine.

2. Load WAVES-SNMP-MIB into the SNMP client SW. The MIB is installed in \Program

Files\Waves\MaxxStream\Mibs.3. Set the IP of the machine hosting MaxxStream in the SNMP client

4. Set read-only community to maxxro. Set read-write community to maxxrw.5. Browse to the maxxStream Table sub-tree under

Enterprises\wavesAudio\wavesAudioApps\maxxStream and issue a Walk command toupdate the values.

Changing the Preset file Using SNMP

Issue an SNMP Set command with the requested station ID and the name of the preset file.

If you provide a full path then the preset file will be loaded from the provided path. If you do not provide a full path MaxxStream will search for the file in the Automated

Presets Folder defined in the System Preference.

If the preset file is loaded successfully, MaxxStream will generate a trap indicating successto load the preset accompanied with the station ID and the preset file name.

If the preset fails to load, MaxxStream will generate a trap indicating failure to load thepreset accompanied with the station ID and the preset file name and revert to the

previously loaded preset.

MaxxStream can load Station Preset files (.xpm) and Rack Preset files (.xps).

For both types of Preset files, only the Rack settings will be loaded (audio setup will remainunchanged).

One exception: Loading a station file when there is no open station will result in loading audiosetup as well.

Note: The SNMP stationPresetFile OID is used to set the both Station & Rack Preset files. However

it always displays the Station Preset File. Use the wavesPresetLoadSucceededTrap to verify thatpreset has been loaded successfully.

15


16/27


Generated Traps

Traps are sent to the IP defined in the System Preference. Default IP is the local host.

MaxxStream generates 3 traps:

wavesSystemUpTrap; Generated when MaxxStream is invoked. Variable bindings: station IDand station keep-alive counter

wavesSystemDownTrap; Generated when MaxxStream exits. Variable bindings: station ID

and station keep-alive counter

wavesPresetLoadFailedTrap; Generated when a preset file fails to load via SNMP.

wavesPresetLoadSucceededTrap; Generated when a preset file was loaded successfully viaSNMP.

System Preferences

System Preferences control application level information. This information does not change whenstations are opened and closed. Detailed description for most of the information stored in the

preference is provided in SNMP and Watchdog sections above.

System Preferences are saved automatically when applying the changes in the dialog box.

Set Automated Preset FolderThe folder in which MaxxStream searches for preset files when instructed to load a preset file via

SNMP Set command.

16


17/27


Default: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Waves Audio\MaxxStream\Presets

Set Recovery SetupThe folder in which MaxxStream Watchdog searches for recovery preset file when it invokes the

application after a crash. The recovery file is a regular station preset file (.xpm).Default: None

Turn Off GUI AlertsMaxxStream supports a non interactive mode in which errors are not displayed to the user.Displaying message boxes is not needed when application is run on a remote machine. Also

message boxes may interfere with normal data flow.

Select Turn off GUI Alerts to set non interactive mode. Errors will be logged in the status bar errorlist.

Default: Not Selected

Chapter 4 The WaveSystem

4.1 The WaveSystem Toolbar

All Waves processors feature the WaveSystem toolbar which takes care of most administrativefunctions you will encounter while working with your Waves software. The features of the

WaveSystem toolbar are the same on practically all Waves processors, so familiarity with itsfeatures will be helpful whichever processor you are using.

Toolbar Functions

Undo Undoes the last performed action. The L3-LL supports multiple undo levels.Redo Redoes the last undone action

Setup A/B Toggles between two presets. This is useful for close comparison of different

parameter settingsCopy A->B Copies the current settings to the second preset register

Load Recalls presets from fileSave Saves presets in the Waves file formats

? Opens the manual for the processor you are using

4.2 Preset Handling

Preset Types

Factory Presetsare permanent presets in the Load menu. Factory presets cannot be over-written

or deleted. When applicable, different component plug-ins may have different factory presets.

User Presetsare your favorite settings of the plug-in saved as a preset in the Load menu, underUser Presets. User Presets can be over-written and deleted.

Setup Filesmay contain more than one preset. For example, a single file can contain all thepresets for a session. When you open a Setup File, all its setups become part of your Load pop-up

menu for fast access. This can be particularly useful with multiple instances of a plug-in in a singlesession. By saving all the settings you create into a single Setup File, they can all be quickly

available for every instance of that plug-in.

18


19/27


Loading Presets and Setups

Click-and-holdon the Load button to see the Load pop-up menu. The menu is divided into foursections. If a section is not currently available it will not appear in the Load pop-up menu.

Open Preset File Select to open any setup or preset file, whether from the Library or your own

creations.

Filename.xps: Displays any currently loaded Setup File and its presets.Factory Presets: Displays the default Factory Presets.

User Presets: Displays any loaded User Presets.

Saving Presets and Setups

Click-and-hold on the Save button to see the Save pop-up menu. Four options are available. If an

option is not currently available it will be grayed out and inaccessible.

Save to New File Select this to start a new Setup file. There are two prompts -first for the setup filename, then for the preset name. You must

provide a name for both the setup file and the preset. Click OK

(ENTER) to complete the save. It is a good idea to create afolder in which to save several setup files for a project.

Save File Name Preset Name Overwrites the settings of the loaded preset (whether a

User Preset or a preset from a Setup File) with the currentsettings. If a Setup File is currently loaded, the name of theSetup File is displayed followed by the name of the preset itself.

If a User Preset is loaded, its name is displayed.Save to File Name As Saves the current settings as a new preset into the Setup file

that is open (if one is not open, the option is grayed out). You

will be prompted to give the preset a name.Put into Preset Menu As Save the current settings into a User Preset that will always be

in your Load menu (until deleted). You will be prompted to givethis preset a name. User Presets are stored in the plug-ins

preference file.

19


20/27


Deleting Presets

You may delete User Presets and presets within a Setup File. Factory Presets and Setup Library

files cannot be deleted or overwritten.

1. Hold the Control key down.2. Click-and-hold the Load button to see the pop-up menu.

3. While still holding the Command/Control key, select the preset or setup to delete.4. A confirmation box will appear, allowing you to cancel or OK the deletion.

A/B Comparison and Copying

The Setup A/Setup B button may be clicked to compare two settings. If you load a preset in the

Setup B position, this will not affect the preset loaded into the Setup A position, and vice-versa.

If you want to slightly modify the settings in Setup A, you can copy them to Setup B by clicking onthe Copy to B button, then alter Setup A and compare with the original Setup B.

The name of the current setup will be shown in the title bar (on platforms which support it), andwill switch as you change from Setup A to Setup B.

Note: an asterisk will be added to the preset name when a change is made to the preset -

4.3 Plug-in Interface Controls

Controls can be in one of three states:

Not Selectedwhere the control is not the target of any user entry

Selectedwhere the control is the target of mouse control entry only

Selected and Activewhere the control is the target for both mouse and keyboard entry

Toggle Buttons

Toggle buttons display the state of a control, and allow switching between two or more states.

Single-click to change the controls state. Some toggle buttons have a text display which updateswith the current setting, and others (bypass, solo, or monitoring toggles) illuminate when the

control is active.

Some processors havelink buttonsbetween a pair of toggle buttons, allowing click-and-dragadjustment while retaining the offset between the controls.

20


21/27


Value Window Buttons

Value windows display the value of a control and allow click-and-dragadjustment, or direct

control via the keyboard.

Using the mouse, click-and-drag on the value window to adjust. Some value windowssupport left/right, some up/down (as you hover over a button, arrows will appear to let you

know which direction of movement that button supports).

Using the arrow keys, click once with mouse to select the button, and then use up/down

left/right (depending on the direction supported by that button) to move in the smallest

incremental steps across the buttons range (holding down the arrow keys will move fasterthrough the range).

Using key entry, double click on the button to open the value window, and directly enterthe value from your keyboard. If you enter an out of range number, the button stays

selected but remains at the current setting (system beeps? If system sounds are on?)

Some processors havelink buttonsbetween a pair of value windows, allowing click-and-dragadjustment while retaining the offset between the controls.

Faders

Click on the fader itself or anywhere within the fader track. The numerical value of the slidersettings is displayed in a window above the slider path. When pairs of faders are provided for

stereo controls (such as in the Q10) click-and-drag between the faders will adjust both faderstogether (maintaining any offset between them if there is some)

Band Markers

Band markers appear on all Waves graphic displays, and have many functions:

Click-vertical dragchanges gain.

Click-horizontal dragchanges frequency.

Click- diagonal dragwill adjust gain and frequency together.

Control-clickand dragconstrains movement to the X or Y axis vertical drag will lockfrequency but allow gain change, and horizontal drag will lock gain but allow frequency
