New Mixing Features in Mixbus v2
The mixer in Harrison Mixbus has been streamlined based on comments from our users. There are certain mixing tasks which are performed dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times each day. Mixbus provides these features directly under the user's control without a moment's delay, just like our hardware consoles.
For example, the fader area contains the input trim, fader level, compressor threshold (with meter), and compressor makeup gain. This provides the most-used functions within a very small "mouse travel" distance. Compare this to other DAWs which require juggling multiple windows, popups, and menus simply to navigate these most fundamental mixing features!
Metering is another aspect of DAW design that can make mixing more fluid.
In the mixing window, Mixbus provides the channel meter, compressor gain reduction meter, tape saturation meters, peak limiting meter, K-14 average level meter, and a final peak limiting meter simultaneously. Again, compare this to other designs which require plugins from several manufacturers and several windows to find this important information. Mixbus provides it at your fingertips!
New Editing Features in Mixbus v2
Similarly, the editing model in Mixbus 2 has been highly refined based on our user's feedback, as well as the "best practices" found in other workstations.
"Smart" mode combines the features of timeline-based editing and object-based editing depending on the location of the mouse within the track.
Mixbus allows the user to quickly "swipe" across the waveform and drag the gain level up or down.
By reducing this very common task to a minimum of operations, editing in Mixbus becomes a real joy for professionals who have to work quickly.
In addition to program improvements, v2.5 includes three new plug-in demos from Harrison’s XTools for Mixbus plug-in series: the XT-EG Expander / Gate, the XT-DS De-Esser, and the innovative XT-VC Vocal Character plugin.
The XT-EG Expander / Gate provides fast gating or expansion with precision timing for demanding tracks. The XT-DS De-Esser uses proprietary processing to recognize voiced sibilance, so it can naturally de-ess your tracks. Finally, the XT-VC Vocal Character plug-in offers an innovative new way to adjust the character of your vocal recordings. It uses proprietary technology to track the pitch of the input signal, and applies EQ based on the note played.
