![]() Yes, it does require a bit of elbow grease to get it working nicely but it is worth it I think. You might have to initiate the Mixbus scan a few times to get through all your plugins - if it chokes on a certain plugin it may or may not continue the scan. ![]() Mixbus is built with Ardour - it's one and the same software so it can't be 'loaded' without it. apart from the analogue mixbus console emulation (everything appears very beta and underdeveloped to me).Įssentially want i am after is reaper with a plugin harrison mixer to take all my tracks from a reaper project and mix in the harrison mixer without ardour if that makes sense. reaper just scans and loads everything without any trouble. any help and an easy newby guide would be very much appreciated.įorgive the newby question but do you have to load via ardour?, i have had nothing but grief trying to load plugins into mixbus. windows 7 64 bit albeit they had the 'jack' options appear in reaper audio prefernces. I noticed a post from a while back where someone achieved this with a similar set-up to mine i.e. I can of course copy audio files into ardour but then your still working with ardour which is unstable (as well as awful) and that cripples workflow if you want to do some reaper stuff whilst mixing. I would ideally like to open the harrison mixer as easily as you would open the reaper mixer within reaper. i am using RME FIREFACE 800, can only see ASIO FIREFACE. i cannot find this elusive 'jack' that harrison provides. Under item-open item in editor, all the options are greyed out. Under options-preferences, i have selected 'external editors' and loaded the mixbus exe file. i am only moderately canny with this stuff so please excuse any silly/obvious mistakes. mixbus comes with ardour which is beyond awful when compared to reaper. I will concede that there are setups that would come closer to that sound( perhaps Harrison's strip and even that has an asterix), but my way too long point is I struggle to find scenarios that make DAW jumping a better use of time than creating your own simplified workflow where your work is already living.Anyone had success with using reaper to record and mixbus to mix?. No, it doesn't sound like Harrison, but the simplified workflow gives me something similar to what my main purpose if using Mixbus would be. I also have a sort of sizzle buss with new fangled audio saturate and a high pass filter and boost( I use very little since Amek has saturation). I have three verb sends( little plate, supermassive and stock). I have Echo Boy on 2 effects sends ( one ping pong and one set to 1/8s). My newest ST1 template is Amex 9099 on all channels and busses with a Softube Drawmer 1973 on my mixbus. This workflow can be achieved in any DAW after a one time template setup. ![]() Part if the results one gets when using Mixbus are a result of following a simplified workflow. I will occasionally mix a project I received as stems on Mixbus, but the colorization I get in Mixbus is just not worth the process to move from another DAW. If Mixbus did AAF import natively it would be an improvement, but as it stands, the process now involves having to delete silence on every track I import. I have tried the bounce stems to mix in mixbus approach and the time never seemed worth it. Harrison even sells channel strip plug now. I have templates in studio one and Cakewalk( since this is a cakewalk forum) that have simple console style channel strips on every channel and buss. It sounds good, but for me that comes down to a combination of the consistency of having same channel strip and saturation on every channel. With that said, the main appeal is the sound, which I am still not convinced is as magical as people make it out to be. I will preface this by saying I never updated past v4 so I am far from an expert. How’s the transition between other DAWs and Mixbus? Who’s using Mixbus? My main DAW is Studio One Pro (which I’m comfortable with). I hope to actually finish a project to justify a future upgrade. ![]() I purchased V6 and 32C V7 (having spent a grand total of $19 + $49), but haven’t completed a project with them yet. I connect with Mixbus having learned sound on old analog sound boards (lower end Mackie, Yamaha, Soundcraft). ![]()
