It should be possible to slave DP transport to Mixbus so you can work in Mixbus on a sequence sitting in DP, but with V2 the sync was inconsistent. You can set it up as an outboard mixer for DP by using the 64 channel version of Soundflower to route audio to and from. Otherwise, it's just a limited version of Ardour which it is based on (and can be had for $1) I can't see the point of all the effort to develop a DAW when the only thing it really offers is the Harrison emulation. I wish they'd just start selling the basic channel strip and summing algorithm as plugins you can use with any DAW. You can use regular native plugins with it, odd because Mixbus2 appeared to be a trojan horse for Harrison's plugins.
Harrison mixbus 2 full#
As a mixer, it's fine, but it is not a suitable replacement for a full DAW, but appears to be heading in that direction. It sounds different, and for some mixes, it sounds very nice. A lot of functions are not obvious or intuitive, and the documentation is spotty, so you are likely to have to make use of the support forum, which has a lot of enthusiastic users. The initial release was too buggy to use, but there were some quick updates that cleared up most of the problems. V2 dependency on JackOS was a PITA, and V3 is lot easier to get moving.
Harrison mixbus 2 upgrade#
I got V2 cheap and the upgrade was cheap too. Just route signal to pairs of outputs, and aux channels to inputs, and connect these to the processors.
Sonus, there is nothing stopping you from using external processors with any DAW, as long as you have sufficient connections on your audio interface, a condition that Mixbus depends on as well.
Harrison mixbus 2 pro#
It not only looks but it feels as being a pro piece of software too. knock on wood that is ), I would surely consider Mixbuss as a candidate for being my DAW of choice. Sound wise I have the feeling (I didn't have the chance to compare it with any other DAW) that its sound was sweet and "open" but after all these would be the expressions I would use for DP as well !Įven though I didn't have the chance to try it extensively (I used no MIDI at all) I think DP is by far a more deep and mature DAW. That would be a game changing capability for me (and I'm sure for many others) since I have lots of outboard that I can only use when I mix using my analog desk at the moment. This is a function I really miss when for some reason I have to mix ITB in DP.
I liked some things about it, like the mixer window and the way the included plugins are immediately accessible on the window itself or the informative metering but the only thing that I really envied was the ability to use (patch) external processors in the mixer inserts. At first it took me a while to get used to its workflow and GUI. Nux, I wired everything track by track from Live to Mixbus using Jack, but tbh, I think it may be more sensible to export stems from live and then drop them into Mixbuss.certainly wouldnt take more or less time.I tried it for a while during a mixing session in a friend's studio some days ago. I didn't take any sends or use any further sends or insert effects in Mixbuss. just wanted to take everything from Live and then mix it in mixbuss using just mixbuss and it's onboard DSP, to get a flavour for their sound really. So, I just made sure everything was bounced down in Live, then linked them over via Jack. What was reassuring was that despuite jack sowing 50% cpu and runnin Live and Mixbuss simultaneously, both Live and Mixbuss were fast and responsive, no stuttering audio or graphics, nice and smooth. Mixbuss load times are extremely fast and their export function, although it graphically shows you whizzing through the track is very fast. Meaning you can do multiple mixes and saves quickly and easily. There are two functions I really like on it that Live could do with adding in, one is that if you solo any track, there is aone large 'SOLO' button at the top of the console that you can press that then disengages all solo'd tracks simultaneously, this is great and fast for checking vocals together, or drums and then returning to the main mix. (Here's where someone tells me that live has this function anyway.
