![]() On each of the busses, as well as the master buss, is tape saturation. Channels can be routed to up to 8 busses, which ultimately combines into the master fader. Just like a sound board, there is an EQ and compressor per channel, but there is also room for your favorite plugins to be put in as inserts. Needless to say, a nice wide screen helps if you have a lot of channels! The idea is to have one knob control a single function, and to have everything you need to make a mix on one screen. ![]() The mixer view is designed to look just like a recording console. Mixbus's approach is directly derived from what they've been making for years and years: consoles. ![]() Mixbus's mixer view - looks like a sound board! Mixbus is their first step into the DAW world, and while I must say there are some things lacking, they have made the core of their product in line with the sound they've created through their analog consoles. Since the digital revolution in recorded audio, they've been transitioning into the digital domain, making their boards with digital controls whilst keeping a good sounding analog frontend. Harrison has been around since the 70s, making high end boards for film and audio. Seeing as mixing is not my day job and $40 puts Mixbus at one of the cheapest prices for a console emulator plugin (though it is invariably more than that), I decided to dive in and give it a try. Some folks have said it's a no-brainer buy, while others touted their own favorite console emulation plugins as better sounding. Though I already use Reaper as my primary DAW, I was attracted by the potential for Mixbus to put an analog console feel to my mixes, as well as the price point. I recently bought a copy of Harrison's Mixbus DAW, via a sale they are having at DontCrack.
