Upacesky « Great for the mix, it sounds of thunder »
Published on 07/26/11 at 11:56I use Linux, the installation is very simple. The configuration is just as easy if you know how to use the jack sound server. No inconsistency encountered, I use a 64 bit OS. The software is translated into french.
The manuals are in English but damn. I say, because there is the quickstart that explains the installation and key operations, and the instruction manual that comes much more into detail.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Elitegroup motherboard GF8100VM-M3, AMD Phenom 9600 quad core, 4GB of RAM. Linux Ubuntu 10.04 set to music (RT kernel for ultra-low latency, audio jack server and all this ...)
Firewire audio interface Edirol FA-101.
Excellent audio performance, ca does not answer. The display is sometimes a bit slow when changing window, but it must come from a graphics config worries at home. As against the audio is super stable, benefit from a system where priority is given to the sound.
Mixbus working properly by recording and mixing. I once had a bug in the metronome, but the team is very responsive and it was corrected quickly.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since version 1.5. I know the Linux audio sequencers like Ardour or qtractor. Mix bus system uses the base of the ardor and adds its treatment in the DSP mixer, and it makes a big difference.
You win a lot of time when we already have access to its EQ, compressors or bus without having to double click anywhere. DSPs are of excellent quality is the same as on their consoles.
With eight and a bus to master, it can route its tracks / buses as you want into different subgroups for the best sound mix.
Among the things I love, there are:
- Simulation of tape on the bus and the master, ca adds a great addition to the sound, it smells analog.
- The summation because it is really awesome. It is not just a stupid addition, there is a real DSP behind. Even without the effects, we have an impression of homogeneity and not just that the tracks stacked on each other. Mixbus offers a real sound.
- The direct effects on the edge of mix, like on a real analog console. They are very bloody, sound of thunder and you win a lot of time to use them.
- If you change an effect parameter, it is directly Inrush. No more placebo effects which is believed to have changed its setting, and then you realize that the effect was bypassed ...
- The sidechain of the compressor 8 to the bus.
- If you insert an external effect, you can access the settings directly in the portion of the trail mix without having to waste time double click to open and close its effect.
- There are others, but it's rather long like that.
Quality / great price considering the quality of onboard effects.
Yes, I would do this choice because in Mixbus mix is really a plus. I know several people who work under mac, do their tracking software with another studio (ProTools, Logic etc ...) and then import the tracks into a mix Mixbus for efficient and quality.
