Description

Mixbus is a unique digital audio workstation (DAW) that stands out for its sound and design, which emulates a Harrison console. It follows an analog paradigm, seamlessly integrating form, function, and sound. Unlike other DAWs that rely on a computer-based approach, Mixbus is built on Harrison’s 48-year legacy of producing platinum records and blockbuster movies.
It is the first DAW to offer Harrison’s ‘True Analog Mixing Engine’, setting it apart from its competitors. With its distinguished heritage and innovative features, Mixbus is the perfect choice for those seeking a DAW that combines the warmth and depth of analog sound, the workflow of a legendary console, combined with the convenience and flexibility of modern digital technology.

Precision Analog Algorithms

Harrison Mixbus offers precision algorithms for EQ, Filter, Compression, Tape Saturation, Summing, and 8 stereo mix busses, all highly optimized within the DAW environment. These algorithms allow you to sculpt your sound, adding warmth, depth, and that elusive analog vibe ordinary DAWs just can’t achieve.


Analog Console ‘knob per function’ layout 

A superior workflow is what truly unleashes your creativity. Mixbus features a mixer layout that is based on Harrison’s legendary music consoles, which have been used by countless artists and producers. Each function has its own dedicated knob, giving you instant control over your sound. With the optimized workflow, you can spend more time being creative with different settings and effects, without losing your focus or momentum. You can craft your mix with ease and avoid wasting time on unnecessary steps or complicated menus. If you want to know the secret of legendary producers and mix engineers, this is it! The console workflow helps you to achieve your sonic vision faster and more efficiently, and to deliver a high-quality mix that meets and exceeds your expectations.


Internally dithered, ramped, and gain staged 

The internal dither, ramping, and gain staging ensure that Mixbus makes the most of its DSP. This helps to create the magic that sets Mixbus apart from other DAWs. With Mixbus, you can enjoy the warmth, depth, and richness of the analog sound, without compromising on the flexibility and convenience of the digital domain.
