General SoundGrid Network Notes
SoundGrid is a ‘private’ network: in order to have a clean network stream, the SoundGrid network should not be used to run any non-SoundGrid applications. Using non-SoundGrid protocols on the same network that carries SoundGrid audio might result in audio drops, application freezes, and other unexpected results.
Known Issues
After installing V14, the WaveShell AAX V10 file may still show up as ‘installed' in the consoles 'installed plugins’ list. This is a visual misrepresentation and will not affect functionality at all. To remove the from the list, right click > Uninstall.
Updating a generation 9 (X9) server’s firmware version from V10 to the latest version may result in an error message. Workaround: Refer to this support article.
If you experience audio artifacts while using more than 110 voices in SoundGrid Rack for VENUE, increase the buffer size to 112 (within the rack Inventory).
Changing configurations in a Star configuration with I/O Sharing of 3 or more S6L consoles (Network Storm), will disconnect the SoundGrid network and not reconnect automatically. Workaround: Click the ‘Use Racks’ button (in the popup menu at the bottom left).

Control mappings of any plugins loaded after CLA Mixhub, will be disabled, as CLA MixHub reserves a large number of controls. Workaround: Insert CLA MixHub as the last plugin in your SoundGrid Rack for VENUE.
