linn134 « Mixing tip »
Published on 10/06/14 at 08:04The installation is done it without problems?
No, everything is fine.
The general configuration is easy?
It is understandable, even though the process is not as simple as a Reaper or Live.
Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
None.
The manual is clear and sufficient?
It is in PDF I think, but the official video tutorials are valuable.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
What is the configuration of your computer?
I installed Mixbus on three machines. Three PCs with a dedicated audio (a cube under Windows7 64bit home, equipped with a quad core, a few gigs of ram, SSD and an RME HDSP RayDAT station connected to a Yamaha 02RV2 ADAT 4in / 4out or 32 channels in and 32 channels out), a powerful laptop (Windows7 64bit big i7 under two fast disks and lots of RAM, a ROG from Asus, with an M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB), a small Portable Linux Processor which is a very modest Pentium Dual Core (a Lenovo IdeaPad paid 600 euros there quite a few years).
In all cases there is no problem.
OVERALL OPINION
How long have you use it?
Past year.
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes. And I always use Reaper upstream to phase composition, then I export my tracks separately and I work all in Mixbus to finalize the mix.
What thing do you like most and least?
I love the logic of Mixbus, console ergonomics and especially the grain it brings.
Because yes, Mixbus color the sound with a theoretically derived grain of the same DNA as the console of the brand. I have not the chance to have a big Harrison to mix my sound gadgets, but I've always liked the particular grain of brand products.
What I like least: for the moment there is no management of MIDI in Mixbus on Windows systems. They are working it seems. Mac users there is law, those Linux too. That's why I restarted an old laptop with Linux inside. Only complaint, grievance but weight. Otherwise Mixbus is perfect, ideal for mixing (it is aptly named).
Harrison drew on the core to produce Ardour Mixbus, which explains that Ardour sessions can be read by Mixbus. The program is reliable, efficient and has the foresight to reserve resources from the beginning of labor. It may be strange but setbacks are avoided.
Latency is not really the workhorse of Mixbus, in the sense that it is theoretically not use this software to play live virtual instruments or amp simulations. It's a big console + magneto with treatments of choice. Besides plugins offered by Harrison are excellent (I stopped the massacre at Universal Audio in a while, I can not compare) and they are often offered as a bundle at a knockdown price, as Mixbus.
When you have limited space and a big analog console does not fit into the room or in the budget, Mixbus is a compelling choice.
