I watched that video last month when it first came out .
Too tell you the truth I was very happy Harrison implemented this feature in Mixbus 4
Now grab your seat and put on your seat-belt folks because I'm gonna state the most obvious and revolutionary thing I love about this new feature .... Remember this ....
I said it here first ,,,so don't get any ideas that you beat me to the punch and came up with this Idea of how to use this feature in a way that nobody other than myself has noticed To my knowledge Harrison Mixbus 4 is the only DAW that I own ,use and know of that has effectively made it possible for me to record in the minus section of a song in the songs timeline In addition to that feature I can now set my bar number one anyplace I want to set it in my songs timeline ...
Now what does that mean ? I'm a trained musician ....
I don't know about you but it has always rubbed me the wrong way when I'm playing or recording a song that has a pick up measure and then I have to compensate for the fact that " my DAW " doesn't allow me to place my first bar of music where I want it in the timeline
I have to start my tune on bar two or bar three ....what that means is a 24 bar or a 36 cycle of a tune winds up having some real weird math ....
Now with what Harrison has done here I can actually play music that correctly corresponds to the correct measures and bar lines of music as I have know it all my life ... In this Pic I took a song I had prerecorded already ,then I moved the timeline to where I wanted my first bar of music to count as my songs start .
I added an audio track to be able to record my Tele ...i armed the track , armed the metronome and hit record ....
Mixbus 4 allowed me to record my part ...an interesting observation ...the metronome didn't play until the songs timeline hit bar one ..IMHO that was OK ...
Now just to be doubly sure I exported my little experimental Mixbus 4 experiment ...sure enough my guitar showed up just like it was supposed too ...Now Hows That for Cool Kenny
