Harrison Mixbus Sounds Great

[at4033]

A very nice sounding piece of software, and a very reasonable (sale) price.

For this PC user, however, the workflow and usability of the software is alien, counter-intuitive and clunky. I'm sure this is due to its roots in Linux and Mac.

I'm not sure how broad the scope of development will be for PC. I'd asked one of the devs (a very nice chap, btw) if there was a way that the mixer could be docked, and accessed via a tab (or plans to that effect). The response was to suggest dual monitors.

I find it too hard to use for anything other than mixdown. I do wish them the best of luck!

Somethings definately take getting used to. For myself, I compose everything in Reason and will just use it to mix on. I'll probably track vocals in reason as well since I'm used to it, but for mixing the mixbus really excels for some reason. I think if more people jump onboard they will continue to develop it even further with midi and rewire, that would be great.

I just bit on the $40 deal. Compared to the DAW I use, it is VERY limited in its functionality. I bought the Mixbus as it is marketed, as a mixing consol. I can use it as a mixer for my HD24 or as a virtual summing mixer for my DAW. I do like the feel this software gives to my mixes, and for the money it is a GREAT deal.
