Post Description

With dozens of DAWs to choose from, thereʼs only one thatʼs designed to work like a Harrison, with an analog paradigm that embodies form, function, and sound. Where other DAWs use a computer paradigm, MIXBUS grows from Harrisonʼs distinguished 40-year heritage of platinum records and blockbuster films, such as Thriller, Graceland, and Spider-Man. MIXBUS is the first full-featured DAW with true analog style mixing.

The editing model in Mixbus has been highly refined based on our user's feedback, as well as industry standard "best practices" and includes one of the most powerful and versatile editing suites of any DAW available. "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 beginners as well as professionals who have to work quickly. The timeline view provides detailed waveform and MIDI data, as well as automation points and crossfades. Editor views can be resized and re-arranged to fit your needs; and there are dozens of key commands and mouse shortcuts to speed up this process.

Many other DAWs use a hide-and-seek approach when it comes to revealing editing features. Mixbus makes the learning process much easier by providing a right-click context menu on many of the edit window elements. Want to know how you can manipulate a region? Simply right-click on it to view the contextual help.

Incredible Value

Mixbus users often ask why such a great product is so cost effective. Well, Harrison is all about providing real value to our users. While other products are bloated with buttons and features that you never use, we focus on doing all the important things right. Giving you the tools that you need to get your work done creatively and efficiently while maintaining that great “analog sound”. We consider Mixbus to be our full featured, yet entry level DAW product, serving as an introduction to the famous Harrison DSP and analog mixing quality found in all Harrison consoles and products, while also providing features that are normally reserved for the top tiers of competing products (unlimited tracks/instruments/plug-ins, 3rd­ party plug-in loading, controller support, timecode sync, video window, etc)

We want as many people as possible to be able to experience Harrison’s Mixbus themselves and become long term Mixbus users so we are offering this version at what we consider to be an exceptional value to you.

Our roadmap for Mixbus and associated products is long and marked with exciting new Harrison technology, software, and hardware along the way. We want our users to take this journey with us. In the future, we will be talking more about where Mixbus is headed such as:

    More software versions targeted for specific workflows
    A Mixbus hardware control surface incorporating many Harrison console innovations
    Many more famous sounding Harrison plug-ins
    Film surround panning (including Atmos and Auro3D)
    Console style automation, bussing, and monitoring features including expanded mixer features (bigger EQ's, compressors, etc.)
    Specialized DSP from our film consoles (noise reduction, etc.) all the way up to full Mixbus integration into our large format consoles 

nJoy!
