For mixing live shows, use any SoundGrid audio interface for real-time processing and recording with Waves plugins. For mobile studios, offload plugin processing from your computer to the server, using whatever ASIO/Core Audio interface you already have.
The rugged aluminum casing is road-ready for your mobile adventures. Just throw Mobile Server in your backpack with a laptop, audio interface, and headphones—and get ready to mix and record.

The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (64 MultiRacks) for either mono or stereo. Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.
* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter.
