Not really in love with this thing.regret buying it.A new version of Mixbus and Mixbus32C is available: v5.3 I used this plug for a bit and thought it was pretty decent so I popped on it, and I regret it now. Apparently Harrison released their version of this EQ natively and didn't include any of the harmonic distortion that would make it sound like the original. That means there wasn't anything different about it from any other standard EQ except for the curves it was made with.which anyone could do with any stock EQ with the Q function. Apparently UAD knew this wasn't going to fly with their customers so they did ad something to the plug to make it "vibe" a bit, but I'm still not impressed. Paul Third on youtube talks about this in depth and there are some google articles that cover it. Having said that, this is not even close to being in the ballpark of something like the Softube active and passive EQ's. Those are way more analog and warm and full musical sounding to me. I guess I should preface that I purchased this because someone said you can boost 3k in this thing and it's a dream. That's home base for the range of vocals I was trying to perfect so I popped on it. But with the softube I can push there and it never sounds wrong even when overdone and right in your face. The Harrison is not like 's just ok.especially if you have great signals and sources to work with.but I don't think it's got any magic like the ones I mentioned. But demo it out and see for yourself, you might really like it. Maybe I'll go back and try it again with some different mics and stuff.but for now I just feel like I wasted a bunch of money on an overpriced plug. My fault though considering I had 14 days to figure it out. I just hadn't fallen upon the softube stuff before I bought this one. Live and learn.First post here, so I’d like to say Greetings to Everyone. I am a new user of Ardour via my recent purchase of Mixbus. I have always liked Ardour from afar, but had no real experience since I am almost exclusively a Windows user. In addition to that, I am a Cubase refugee who bailed and switched to Zynewave’s Podium and then added Reaper as a second DAW right after.Īlthough I am extremely happy with both Reaper and Podium, I had been aware of Mixbus for a little while, and with their extreme markdown and sale recently, I jumped – bought Mixbus and became a monthly subscriber as well. Setting this up will be my next dodgy task I suppose! I had some previous experience using Harrison Consoles and having that marvelous mixer now in software form and attached to Ardour is a real treat! I should specify here that I intend to do much of my work still using either Reaper or Podium, then somehow import tracks or stems into Mixbus for final processing. I’ll conclude by saying that getting started with Mixbus has had loads of problems. I have to start up Jack separately from a desktop icon to keep Mixbus from crashing immediately. Forget VSTi (although I’m about to try Legree for this), Mixbus has enough issues with third-party VST plugins already. I would buy theirs however, I really only like their multi-band comp and have plenty of perfectly good plugins I know well currently. No matter – I plan to stick around at least for a while in hopes that Harrison can get things sorted in proper time, as I think this new setup does hold much promise. I also thing Ardour is rather charming in its own right, so I plan to start following activities on this board. Cheers! Telenator: i use dual boot on both my PC’s, using Dream Studio (Ubuntu GNU/Linux) and Win7, so far i’ve found that Mixbus on Windows is way below it’s performance on Linux and also since ardour was not built for windows and its VST enviroment it has several issues with them, one of these is the Mono/Stereo setup of plugins, however there are other things to take into account such as: Mixbus is based on Ardour2, actual release is (as of today) Ardour 3.3, so in Mixbus, “for now” and meanwhile it is based on Ardour2 you can forget about VSTi or Midi recording or editing, although Midi controlling surface is fine.
