Harrison mixbus click tracks3/15/2023 The upsides are that it's easy to use, and if you're happy to work within the paradigm of the interface it's actually pretty well designed. Also, the channel strips are quite small unless you're using a big screen, and I can see how some eyes might struggle to read labels etc. Also, there is some built-in processor overhead in that all the busses have a tape saturation effect running at all times (which can be turned right down, but it's still on). The downsides are that it's not as slick as protools, cubase etc, and there are certain features like ARA (melodyne etc) & some of the more clever editing functions that the latest generation of flagship DAWs have which Mixbus doesn't do. I like it, produced a couple of albums from scratch demos with 32c. I'm sure there are other differences, too, that aren't important to me but would probably be worth the different in cost and screen real estate for a real working DAW-user. The 32C has more buses and different algorithms in the equalizer section that make it sound more like a Harrison Series 32 EQ than a generic four-band semi-parametric general purpose EQ, neither of which appeals to me enough to upgrade from the $19 version to the $99 version. I don't have to "build" a channel before I can use it. To me, the advantage of MixBus is that everything that's on my console is there, right in front of me. And I believe that starting out as a console builder gave them look-and-feel experience to create a program that would be reasonably comfortable for one who mixes in the traditional way, and that's me.ΔΆ0 years ago, I'd say "I'd consider replacing my console with a computer if I had a monitor the size of my console." Now that a console the size of Keith's is affordable, I don't really have the interest any more, but I've looked into a multi-fader control surface and a large monitor and think that I could get comfortable with it if I wanted to. It started with Ardour as a base, and Harrison, who was an active supported of the Ardour project, gained a lot of experience in working with it as a component of their large frame consoles from a dozen or so years back. I don't like any one DAW program better than another because I don't use any of them enough to really learn what I could like or dislike, but about Harrison, mostly what I like is the company and how the program was developed and evolved. I've been keeping up with their basic MixBus, it's currently, and frequently on sale for $19.
