Harrison Mixbus

What sets Mixbus apart is the sound.  The saturation is exceptional.
At $29, even for fun, it's a no brainer IMO.

Thanks gswitz,
 
I purchased Mixbus for $29.00 but haven't really used it.  It's more like a back up that I will have to eventually learn.   Since Sonar Platinum isn't going anywhere,  I will still keep on using it as always and won't replace it as my Daw.
 
Maybe, a year down the line or two if another company doesn't pick it up, then I will seriously consider using something else.

Hi all of you.
2017 has been a strange year, lots of " gone by" though Sonar is not the toughest one,it is in the train,but that is personnal.
To come back in the heart of the thread, I bought the license for Mixbus and it is your fault Geoff because your vids showed something I never found easy with Sonar ,meaning trigger a guitar in real Time with Rapture pro sounds ,though I think it is possible with every decent software and Sonar is included in the wagon but I am somewhat deaf and dumb when it comes to technical means...
It seems like Mixbuss is quite usable when it comes to audio and the sound is something that is not easy to achieve else where even by inserting tons of plug-ins , maybe one day comes when you get tired of this sound but let us see.
Mixbuss lacks all the tweaks you can adjust in Sonar to make it work well ,so managing latency and CPU charges
seems quite short ,but I could make a piano work ,with much higher buffer settings than what I can do in Sonar but it was almost playable.
So it seems for me that I will carry on with Sonar when it comes to manage midi and loops ,but Mixbus brings something quite organic when it comes to audio( which is my main musical activity).
I had a look toward Mixcraft ,because I bought their piano long ago and it was cool,but having to store tons of loops kept me away from it though I was tempted by what is said about their video capabilities,though Vegas is good for the job in this area.
All that to say Geoff, that you made me spend money I sweared myself I would not so that is not cool....
But despite this financial reality. Thank you for your vids and I hope you will share some more.
All the best.
Olivier

I got Mixbus quite a while ago for $29 too. I haven't really played with it much until recently though. It is worth picking up though when they have one of their silly deals on. I would say it would be a great tracking solution. It's like get back to the analog days.

Larry - where is that price point?  I can't find the Harrison essential bundle for $49 anywhere on their site.  
 
BF prices are $29, $99, $249 and $349 but none of them include mixbus with essential bundle and none of them at $49.

Doesnt it say it here??

Mixbus 32 is driving me mad. I like the look of it but I just cant seem to do easy tasks without having to do a whole load of things. For instance, If I want to drag and drop 13 drum wavs into Logic, St 1 or PT I simply Highlight all files and drag them in. In mix bus it puts all files on the same track. I have given up. Pity as I was looking forward to playing around with it.
Grrrr

MB32 has crashed on me twice now and not forgetting the auto Website homepage when booting up.  I checked the box in prefs to prevent the web page opening but it still opens. I love new DAWS and am willing to give all a crack but this is just too complicated. Looks good, reasonable price but there is too much to do to get it going.

I like it and use it often. It's been very stable for me since very early on in version 3.
I haven't ever recorded and mixed a project from start to finish in it however.

If it helps anyone, Mixbus is actually the best I have seen for integrating a control surface. You can learn control surface buttons in generic mode or actually edit a config file to suit yourself.
 
A very good feature.

Well ,Happy new year to fellows Sonar users..
So I went to Mixbus and followed with Ardour,
I cannot say why ,but I am very found of Ardour's graphic interface ,the software is light and quite efficient and it works hands in hands with Mixbus( though if you open an Ardour project with Mixbus I think you should give it another name ...).
I like the idea of open source softwares and I think it is possible to actually work with the couple Ardour Mixbus, though,have to admit that I carry on working with Sonar ,first because it is the software I am used to,and also because I cannot find the loop preview function,which works really well in Sonar, in Ardour.
Just to feed your thoughts.
All the best.

Mixbus (and Ardour) Do not handle loops and therefore do not have a loop preview.

Hi,
Well ,I somewhat understood this as a fact,but as far as "Mixbus- Ardour team" is growing,why not imagine that they include some loops management in their softs.
I just meant that Sonar is a really efficient tool in this part ,not only in this area by the way.....
