Mixbus 32C is a full-featured Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) with "True Analog Mixing”™, based on the Harrison Consoles world renowned Series 32 Analog Console.
Over the last 40 years, Harrison consoles have earned, throughout the world, an enviable reputation for excellence. This is no accident. Such a level of acceptance can only be gained as a product proves its maturity through performance in the field. This real-time reputation is, without a doubt, the best measure of a product’s true worth.
Analog Performance
Harrison has pioneered the use of high performance computer technology over the last 20 years to provide unmatched processing power in the world’s largest mixing environments. By keeping up with these incremental technological steps through the decades, Harrison can now faithfully emulate the beautifully designed analog signal processing designs of the past and incorporate them into a full function “True Analog” mixing console within the digital audio workstation.
More Equalization
Mixbus 32C provides it. Each Mixbus 32C channel strip incorporates an exact emulation of the original Harrison 32C fully parametric, reciprocal four-band sweepable EQ, with second order high-pass and low-pass filters.
More Busses
Mixbus 32C provides an additional four stereo mixbus channels (12 total) each with individual level control, latency compensation, and associated master channel incorporating the highly successful Harrison tape saturation, bus compression and tone control functionality.
User Testimonial:
"I love it! It's so easy to make warm, non muddy mixes. I have the time of my life in the studio these days!" - Jostein Andersen - composer/guitarist/engineer on Mixbus32C.
Mixbus 32C Features:
• Straightforward “knob per function” mixer layout based on Harrison's renowned 32C music console
• Precise emulation based on Harrison's analog console circuit designs
• Precision algorithms for EQ, Filter, Compression, Analog Tape Saturation, and Summing
• Unlimited stereo or mono input channels, each with unlimited plug-ins, sends, and hardware inserts. (limited only by CPU and disc speed)
• Unlimited MIDI tracks, each with virtual instrument support, unlimited plug-ins, sends and inserts
• Phase, Input trim, Sweepable 4-band EQ with second order HP and LP filters, Compression, and 12 Mix Bus sends on every track
• Mixbus32c has an optimized signal flow with 12 stereo Mix Buses and a master bus, all featuring Tone controls, Compression, Sidechaining, and Analog Tape Saturation simulation
• Stereo Master Bus features Tone controls, Analog Tape Saturation, K-meter, Stereo Correlation Meter, and Limiter
• Automatic plug-in delay compensation to support effects such as parallel compression without time misalignment
• Comprehensive "at-a-glance" metering with peak, peak hold, and compressor gain reduction visible on every track and bus
• Extensive DAW editing features
• Industry standard plug-in support: Mixbus32c loads VST plug-ins on Windows, AudioUnit (AU) plug-ins on OSX, and LV2 plug-ins on all platforms.
• Industry standard audio I/O support: Mixbus32c uses ASIO/Directsound on Windows, CoreAudio on OSX, and JACK on Linux
• Mixbus32c provides high performance features such as LTC (SMPTE) generation and sync; video pullup/pulldown; and persistent undo (undo remains possible after closing and reopening a session)
• Multi-core and 64-bit optimizations provide increased track counts across all OS platforms
• Fourth-generation Harrison True Analog Mixing™ processing engine with enhanced compressor/limiter algorithms; built-in sidechain bussing, and increased plug-in flexibility
• Over 50 ‘MIDI filter’ plug-ins including functions such as transposing, velocity scaling, etc
• Experimental support for video timeline, video window, and audio+video exports
• The Mixbus32c engine is internally dithered, ramped, and gainstaged so that sound quality is preserved as close to analog as possible
• Audio regions are stacked in “layers”, and every region fadein/out is a crossfade to the region(s) beneath it
• The user interface scales to fit your monitor; larger monitors will get bigger knobs and sharper text; while small monitors (such as a laptop) are not recommended for Mixbus32C
• Refined workflow and graphics, including scaling and support for HiDPI (Retina) displays
• Incredibly cost effective because of our world-wide open source collaborators
• Generic MIDI devices can use “MIDI Learn” to assign MIDI controls directly to on-screen knobs or use MIDI profiles to select many pre-configured device layouts from a pull-down menu
• Mackie control protocol is provided for motorized fader controllers, and the Mackie protocols have been extended to ergonomically control the Mixbus channelstrip EQ, compressor, and 12 mixbus sends. Dedicated support is provided for popular devices like the Presonus Faderport, Mackie MCU, and Behringer X-Touch controllers
• OSC (Open Source Control) protocol supports ethernet-based wireless tablet controllers such as TouchOSC and Lemur for iOS and Android to remote-control Mixbus32C
