They have two of their plug-ins (GVerb+ reverb + 3D Triple Delay) on offer now for $10 (£6.13 + VAT):
Offer ends on May 10th.
 
=====================================================
 
Offer is good until midnight on May 15th.
 
Check it out HERE if you're interested.
 
Seems well worth a punt at that price as an extra string to one's bow.

Too good to resist, as far as I'm concerned.
Who wouldn't want a Harrison desk, even just a virtual one?

And I'm now reminded just how inefficient and heavy on the CPU it is compared to Logic.
 
Just launching it - after the one mandatory crash during start up, another thing I had forgotten - and the CPU sensor jumps from 58 degrees to 77 degrees. I rarely see it go beyond 72-75 when using Logic, even when recording overdubs in projects with a bunch of VI and tracks and FX and busses... :/
 
But it does lend itself to mixing, beautifully so...

I've never had Harrison Mixbus crash on me (yet).

The few times I've installed it, it ALWAYS choked and crashed the first time I launched it.
 
But it never crashed after that, no matter how much of a strain it puts on the CPU and how sluggish it can feel.

This is quite a cool bit of kit for next to nothing.
 
Even poking around using the "I'm a bloke so I won't read the destructions I'll just push some buttons and twiddle some knobs" approach it seems quite intuitive.
 
Mind you, as my good friend Mr Bapsi mentioned a while back, I think it might be worthwhile investing in their plug-ins at some stage. Plus I've only got 1 or 2 of my own 32bit VSTs installed on my PC for use in SONAR, so it looks like I've got some work to do downloading and/or digging them all out.

I gave it go. I doubt I'll ever use it.
It was easy to install. I recorded a couple of measures of guitar-
spent about 15 minutes checking out stuff and then realized it was of no value to me.
 
After using X3 it was something like going from light speed to a crawl. Just my take and
sure there are those that it could be a great deal.

I will say this about MixBus.
 
To my ears I like it. Just "a little" bit more than SONAR upon export.
 
I said this once before but I did the best I could to do an apples to apples mix of the same raw tracks in SONAR (X2) and MixBus. Basically I did a mix only (no EQ changes or FXs of any kind).
 
MixBus had just a tad more clarity for me.
 
End of story.
