Harrison Mixbus 3.0-2872 interim release (updated)
Interim build 2845 includes over 2,000 changes since the initial 3.0 release. A selection of notable changes since the last interim 2257 is listed below:
New features:
Enable remote-control surfaces:
- Generic Midi Control: MIDI Learn ( assign MIDI controllers directly to on-screen knobs )
- Generic Midi Control: MIDI Profiles ( pre-configured settings for popular MIDI controllers )
- Mackie protocols ( for motorized fader-controllers using the Mackie Control protocol )
- Presonus Faderport ( dedicated support for this popular device )
- OSC ( remote control over ethernet, see TouchOSC
"Duplicate" track - creates a copy of an existing track:
The copy includes all channelstrip settings, plugins, I/O connections, etc
Optionally copy the playlist of the source track, or even share the same playlist as the source.
New filters on the plugin manager help you see only the types of plugins you want to see.
General improvements:
When a new plugin is added, immediately show the plugin's GUI ( you can disable this in Preferences->Plugins )
Allow renaming of the top-level session folder:
- In the past, the top-level session folder name had special significance; it defined the name of the primary snapshot and the enclosed “interchange” folder with audio and MIDI files. This is no longer the case.
- Double-clicking a recent session will now open the last-used snapshot
- This solves a problem where renaming the toplevel folder would report that audio and midi files are missing.
Allow hiding/showing the mixer-list.
Improved responsiveness of some Harrison plugin GUIs.
Allow user to overwrite existing template sessions. ( prompt before overwriting )
Various speedups and improvements to waveform drawing.
Dramatically speed-up session shutdown when the session has lots of regions.
Provide user-control over preroll amount. ( see Preferences->Transport )
Double-clicking the channelstrip compressor threshold should now default to 0, not +1dB.
Updated French, Russian & German translations.
Save & recall "insert" latency setting.
Mixbus assign buttons are slightly brighter. ( more improvements coming here in the future )
Improved the layout of some Preferences panels, including MIDI, Control Surfaces, and Plugins panels.
Fixed seamless looping of audio and MIDI.
...plus hundreds of small bug-fixes and user-suggested improvements
OSX:
AU factory presets were not appearing in the preset menu; this has been fixed.
Prevent some AudioUnit UIs (Addictive Drums) from monopolizing the CPU
Fix some plugins ( like newest Waves ) on latest Mac versions.
Allow users to directly open sessions by double-clicking in the Finder.
Windows:
Improved performance of ASIO audio I/O ( use a callback instead of blocking I/O )
Provide ASIO buffer size selection when the interface supports it
Fix automatic latency compensation for ASIO I/O, if the device reports it.
Fix issues when importing many files.
Updated multi-core support for 64bit Windows. A few users had to select “one processor” to avoid glitches, even though they had multiple cores available. This might allow some users to utilize multi-core DSP processing.
Fix occasional crash at shutdown.
Linux:
New option to configure period size (improve performance of USB devices)
Allow latency-calibration without restarting the backend (ALSA) … this helps with USB devices whose latency changes with each start/stop.
