As a mixer, it's fine, but it is not a suitable replacement for a full DAW, but appears to be heading in that direction.

It sounds different, and for some mixes, it sounds very nice. A lot of functions are not obvious or intuitive, and the documentation is spotty, so you are likely to have to make use of the support forum, which has a lot of enthusiastic users. The initial release was too buggy to use, but there were some quick updates that cleared up most of the problems. V2 dependency on JackOS was a PITA, and V3 is lot easier to get moving.
#MIXBUS 32C VERSION 4 UPDATE UPGRADE#
I got V2 cheap and the upgrade was cheap too. Just route signal to pairs of outputs, and aux channels to inputs, and connect these to the processors. Sonus, there is nothing stopping you from using external processors with any DAW, as long as you have sufficient connections on your audio interface, a condition that Mixbus depends on as well. It not only looks but it feels as being a pro piece of software too. knock on wood that is ), I would surely consider Mixbuss as a candidate for being my DAW of choice. Sound wise I have the feeling (I didn't have the chance to compare it with any other DAW) that its sound was sweet and "open" but after all these would be the expressions I would use for DP as well !Įven though I didn't have the chance to try it extensively (I used no MIDI at all) I think DP is by far a more deep and mature DAW. That would be a game changing capability for me (and I'm sure for many others) since I have lots of outboard that I can only use when I mix using my analog desk at the moment. This is a function I really miss when for some reason I have to mix ITB in DP. I liked some things about it, like the mixer window and the way the included plugins are immediately accessible on the window itself or the informative metering but the only thing that I really envied was the ability to use (patch) external processors in the mixer inserts. At first it took me a while to get used to its workflow and GUI. I tried it for a while during a mixing session in a friend's studio some days ago.
