This unparalleled flexibility is derived from Harrison’s large-format console VCA implementation. Input Channels (tracks and mixbuses) may be assigned to an “unlimited” number of VCAs, allowing the user to control a snare drum from 3 VCA faders: the snare, drum, and all-instruments VCA groups (for example). You may create an unlimited number of VCA faders, and attach them to your tracks and buses then you can use the VCA's fader to adjust the slave's fader level, or trigger a Mute or Solo on the slaved channels. Then Shift+Click again to hide these controls on your mixer, and leave room for plenty of plugins while you are mixing! this allows you to see your inputs/outputs, VCA assignments, and other details during the "setup" phase of your mix. Shift+click the switcher to switch all of your channels at once. The new "Switcher" was designed to save vertical space, so we can provide the transport controls on top of the mixer while still fitting in our recommended minimum screen size. After reducing the stereo width, you can pan the reverb image to one side or the other. The width knob varies from stereo to mono, and its primary purpose is to reduce the stereo width of reverb effects ( similar to using a mono bus send to your reverb effects, in an analog console ). Our latest-generation “True Analog Mixing” engine has been updated with a stereo width knob on the console mixbuses. You'll find a great opportunity for customization, while still remaining sensible and recognizable if you have to work on someone else's computer. Visit Preferences->Appearance->Toolbar to turn the various sections on & off. The transport controls have been streamlined, and are configurable to hide & show the elements that are needed during the different stages of production: recording, arranging, editing, mixing and mastering. The new “mini-timeline” allows fast & easy locating directly from atop the mixer window: Mixbus’s new & updated GUI answers user’s requests for a better window management, and it allows the transport controls to appear above the mixer. it's now over 400 pages of great information!

#HARRISON MIXBUS FORUM UPDATE#
I will add more to this thread as and when Studio One either pleases or frustrates me.Mixbus v3 customers can update for only $39 ! I wonder if that’s because Mixbus was already doing some analogue modelling through the channel EQs, so the extra difference of adding a modelling plugin was less. On Mixbus, I wasn’t really aware of that. I also think Mixbus 32c must do more under the hood than I thought, because I noticed when I was adding plugins in Studio One, even before I’d touched a knob, that I could hear quite clearly the analogue modelling of, say, a Neve preamp or the difference between MJUC’s 3 compressor modes.

I’m not totally sold on it, but further investigation is needed. I was expecting something quite subtle but there’s an obvious character even with the gain turned down. But… I’m surprised the Console Shaper, which is a plugin that operates on every track & bus, is so coloured. So far I’ve hardly had time to do anything with it. So, because I’m thinking about doing some more modern production with electronic percussion, virtual instruments etc, I thought I’d get Studio One. While I have successfully recorded & edited tracks from scratch in it, and there are some very well thought through things like the automatic crossfades and translucent waveforms etc, the virtual instrument and midi editing is pretty rudimentary and slip editing multitracked drums can be a slow process. For mixing, I really like it - the limitations of the fixed bussing scheme don’t bother me, and the VST implementation (apart from total lack of VST3, 32bit bridging & ARA capability) is very good in terms of signal flow & flexibility of routing inputs & outputs.įor recording and production it’s a bit less brilliant, though. I’ve been using Harrison Mixbus 32c for the last couple of years.
