There is no addition of "color" until you use the stock Mixbus tools, starting with the three types of compressor. It is a common misunderstanding that the color comes before using the features.
If nowhere else in the chain, there is at the very least some mild coloration as the track passes through the master channel tape sat module, which is set at its default 12 o'clock position in the video.
You right in that no other DAW so closely resemble or reacts like an analog console. I am old guy that had a sound career from the 1970's to the early 2000's... Going from analog to digital and the steps in between. When I first tried Harrison Mixbus it was like coming home.... Now Mixbus32C is my go to, everyday DAW... Yes I have a couple other, but it is much easier for an old analog head to get exactly what they are after from Harrison Mixbus than any other. And I have used from ACID Pro ti Pro-Tool, and from Cakewalk to Ableton Live, Reaper and Studio One.... Harrison wins hands down.
I too have used many daws over the last 20 years...All of them have greatly improved across the board. then a very experienced mix engineer told me about MB in 2012...It had no midi was full of bugs and a big pain to work with....however, I heard a sound that no other daw had...it was the sound of an actual recording studio, a good one. As years went by, I'd go from Pro Tools, Logic, and finally Studio One, but always returning back to Mixbuss to see if the changes were bringing this daw up to speed. And it was. After nearly 12 years of using Mixbus as a secondary Daw, I have finally , for the most part, left Studio One as the main daw... I like Studio one, and will still use it for certain things, in particular transferring midi to audio, I like the work flow and sound of Studio One... But....Mixbus has a sound that inspires me when mixing... The included eq and comp in the latest version are not stock p[ug ins, in the true sense of the word. They are good enough that they are made into third party plugins...you don't need an eq or comp plug in, as the ones in MIxbus are already top quality, those found in an actual mixing console. There is a video with someone comparing a mix down in Pro Tools and the same mix in MIxbus,,, you should listen to that. If you can']t hear and feel the diff, then maybe you are in the wrong biz... You may not like the diff, but it is there, in spades. The eq is such that its very easy to dial in sounds and carve spaces in the mix for them... and the fact that there is no visual representation ( frequency analysers. ), you are forced to use your ears, but the eq sounds so good and precise thats all you need. If you have a large 4k tv as your monitor, you can put the entire mixer page on it, and with a midi controller like Mackie MCU or Presonus fader port, its just like mixing on a console. Everyone, and I mean everyone, who comes to the studio and hears a mix done in Studio One will say, that sounds good,,,. but then when they hear the mix in Mixbus, their jaws drop... It has the vibe of analogue, one that the best analogue plug ins cannot come close to.
Dude ! What you just heard (the noise) is the random harmonics added by the mixbus digital console. If you add more "Drive" to the busses I bet you will get more "artifacts" to the reverse phase test. You just discovered the "mojo". Under your nose !
I have tried many DAWS using plugins...Colld Edit Pro, Adobe Audition, Cakewalk Sonar, Samplitude Studio, Cabuse LE, N-Track Studio, Protools 8...while using tons of different plugins from Waves , IK mutimedia, Digidesign, and the Daw plugins , and I have NEVER EVER been able to get a sound as good as the sound I got from Harrison Mixbus 6 using just the board EQ, Compressor and Saturation knob. When you start driving and turning those knobs something good happens to the sound, especially when you drive the busses. There is clarity, warmth, spread, punch and depth. It sounds pleasing to the ear. And in all cases sounds better than the unprocessed waveforms. Sounds more analog than anything digital I have ever tried.
This is true. I haven’t been able to duplicate that saturation. I’ve been trying for years. Don’t want to use two daws so it would be better to be able to duplicate it but haven’t been able to
I think the point of it isnt easily measured by using one track, it's the difference it makes to the busses when you do the individual mixing in then with it. Idk or at least I would assume that's where the "mojo" comes in.
This video is dumb. Just listen to it. It sounds amazing. The color is immediately apparent to anyone with ears. I started out with HMB just mixing tracks that I had recorded in PT. When I would import them over to HMB I had been listening to them for days from PT throughout tracking and overdubs. I had that sound in my head. Importing into HMB, the difference was immediate and undeniable upon first playback even before engaging any of the facilities or bussing.
Literally the exports were identical. Mixbus doesn't change your sound until you make adjustments in the mixer. The problem is that he didn't do anything. And your problem is that you're obviously listening with your fuckin' eyes lmao.
Mixbus adds some clarity to the top end and tightens the bottom end, it is VERY subtle and needs to be listened to with monitors but it does make a difference when mixing and mastering. Of course, no one will be able to tell the difference on a final product other than it sounds good, you can't pin point on "this was mixed with Mixbus" just by listening to a track, but Mixbus does color the sound like the hardware console. Is it major, no, no revolution there, but it makes it a little easier to get some tightness on a track with Mixbus for the person actually doing the mixing. Oh and btw, Mixbus does not crash anymore since version 7, rock solid, FINALLY! :)
This maybe of interest. I did a stem mix of a tune I started in Ableton and the mixdown I got in Mixbuss (not even 32c) had this particularly fat crunch and squeeze, using only the built-in eq and compressor limiters. I attempted to emulate the mix back in Ableton, even using Harrison channel and buss plug ins and I couldn't get the same sound no matter what. I have a crap load of plugins but none of them could achieve what the basic eq and dynamics within mixbus did. I didn't want it to be true, but that's what I experienced.
U r absolutely right man I have the same experience I can't achieve radio record sound in fl or Ableton but in mixbuss it's very easy nd simple with built in EQ nd comp the only downside is they don't have good piano roll stuff midi is super headache in mixbus
Without using the Mixbus tools to CHANGE ANYTHING in your file you will hear exactly NO DIFFERENCE. Dude please!!! I've using Mixbus from version 4 to 7 (now) and it really adds a great many things in a mix.
Try doing a static blend of a song and compare it to another DAW. That way you would take advantage of the mixbuses. Or try using the “optimize polarity” function, which can make a huge difference. Yes, mixbus has bug issues, but if the company took the time to address those bugs they would have an absolutely stellar DAW for mixing. So many things about mixbus are well thought out.
@@alexeypolevoybass I use Harrison Mibus32c version 7 every day on my Windows 10 64bit machine. No issues what-so-ever... AMD 1920X threadripper (gen-1), 64Gb RAM, 3 x Samsung M.2 2Tb SSD, 2 x 3Tb Hard Drives, AMD Firepro W2100. - Presonus Studio24c, Faderpot-2, Mackie Big Knob Passive, Kali LP-6 Monitors...
I wouldn't expect to hear any color added without engaging any stock plug ins. Otherwise it would be like having Slate VCC (Virtual console collection) on your tracks with bypass engaged. And when you have Sonimus Britson on individual tracks the crosstalk experienced alters the stereo field.
Mixbus works by having a hole complete multi track mix and Mixing them together so you should not see any change cause you have not done any Mixbus mixing would be good to see this comparison on a whole mix
@theeverlastingspiral also if you're just mixing stems and just mixing the volumes you're not doing anything that mixbus really could be is for it's for mixing a live band and having to push pull feel that you would get by putting a whole live band through a console
@theeverlastingspiral Well, DUH... That like saying an SSL has no unique sound if I play a prerecorded track through a channel and bypass the EQ, the Compressor, the subgroups and run staright to master. YEP just a clear, clean exact reproduction of the original... Who would want a console that only has one sound, always adds to the noise floor, and make no other changes?.... Practically no one. We all want a console that is clean and quiet, yet provides us the tools to make whatever changes and coloration WE Want. Harrison has done that. Which is why I use it. And the addition of those Tape Saturation controls is icing on the cake. The rest of yu must buy a ton of plug-ins just to get close to what Harrison provides from the get go. Though of course you can always add your plugins too.. Best of both worlds.
Thanks for the video 👌 I recently did a null test with multi tracked mono vocals and found difference in the two files, even after I turned the drive saturation off on the master. With no drive, It nulled at first, but then I added 80 ish db of gain and there was a small difference signal that changed depending on the harmonic density of the vocals. To me this was letting me hear the difference in the summing engines of the daws. Which though it’s subtle only a few db that few db is not at the noise floor in actual listening. With the drive knob set to default the difference was not as close to the noise floor. I think it only took 60 db of gain to see it on meters.
Surprisngly Harrison Mixbus can be clean as a whistle, or as analog sounding as you could wish for... Try turning the Tape Saturation knobs, conveniently located in every MIXBUS as well as on the main output... THAT is where the coloration starts. It of course continues with the Harrison EQ section, and their compressor section as well... Why diss something you so obviously do nto understand?... Perhaps reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. You're forgiven. People do have different preferences especially sound engineers. Some prefer an SSL, console, Some insist on Neve, other Want an old MCA (with flying faders of course) while some do indeed love that Harrison sound. It for those that Mixbus32c is made for. So guys like me that grew up and had a career using analog consoles, could feel more at home in the pure digital realm of a DAW... Now all that said, allow an old soundman to remind you that tonality is not the same as volume level or frequency, if so every microphone would sound the same if you just dial in the EQ properly and set gain and volume to match.... Good grief - Your waste of video time shows you don't understand why a Yamaha Console sounds different than a Soundcraft, or Allen & Heath sounds different than a Peavey....
The ears don't lie...I have Reaper , Ableton Live and Harrison Mixbus and Mixbus sounds much better as soon as you load in a wave file from other DAW's before you do anything to then...and it's a better and easier work flow I love it..it sounds like an analog board.... he should have played those wav files soon as he rendered them straight through the media player or some other player not through Cakewalk or any other DAW kills the sound of mixbus
The software will improve the sound if you turn on its compressor and analog equalizer, and even if you do, you still need to have proper listening, take two files and just transfer them through software, this is not proof of the software's sound.
No I actually spotted the limiter during rehearsal. What you saw was me realizing I forgot to turn it off. Was there a tape thingy on? Maybe that's why I didn't null...?
You don't activate the eq and compression, the «player» module don't add anything, the modules with analog emulation are the same on a console, eq and compressor (no pre on mixbus). Then, if you only activates the eq you can see a curve on the high, the same if you use a uad 32c emulation from Harrison...
I honestly preferred the Harrison mixes, but both were balanced well. I'm kind of curious now, the last time I tried to demo HMB it was pretty $hitty on my particular machine at the time.
@@518freakshow4 Exactly... Try the difference when Mixing with Harrison Mixbus, vs, well any other DAW.... BTW I have done many sessions to 2" tape, then to ADAT, then in ppure digital.

Maybe they nailed the crashes on version 6. You should talk to Harrison. They're good listeners. Maybe they can explain how they developed Mixbus. just for you. Perhaps ask them about the secret sauce. I doubt they designed Mixbus to be used in the way you presented here. It's also great you shed light that Mixbus can be a colorless normal DAW, granting I wanted to use my other Waves emulations. That's great news!

518 FREAKSHOW If your buffers are set wrong any DAW will crash, and even with the correct buffer set you need to know the limitations of your system. No matter how many tracks I’m mixing in a session the amount of effects etc I’m not using more 35% of my CPU. If it crashes too much for you, maybe it’s time to step up to a Mac just saying.
@@MrChitownhustla I've had mine for over 2 months....zero crashes. But I do have a brand new iMac set up. My point is......not all MB users have crashes. So....Actually my LPX is more buggy as this point. Salud.
Just a simple null test to see if Mixbus added any color to the mix or if it is simply the plugins. I actually learned more from the comments then my test.
Wow the Harrison sounds ten times better! If it can make a shitty song like that sound better I can’t wait to hear what it will do with some decent music!
🤦 There are so many problems with this test (besides the terrible mic audio). Mixbus doesn’t “color” things unless you push into their onboard compression and the mild tape emulation on the master bus. As you’d expect.
He blew it when he put them in that sorry cakewalk program he should have just rendered them out as audio files because the way he did it, it gave everything the cakewalk sound....a very bad demonstration mad no sense at all. It was like using a downgraded DAW to test something that is an upgrade from it 😁😆😅
It's a cool test, but you left out the magic source (called a Bus) Remember Mixbus raves about their vintage tape saturation. so in order for that to work one need to send the file to a bus and not the main. make sure saturation is on, it should be by default.
There is no addition of "color" until you use the stock Mixbus tools, starting with the three types of compressor. It is a common misunderstanding that the color comes before using the features.
yeah, you are fully right!
If nowhere else in the chain, there is at the very least some mild coloration as the track passes through the master channel tape sat module, which is set at its default 12 o'clock position in the video.
Regardless of sound difference Mixbus gets you thinking about working on a console and making moves that you normally wouldn’t make in another DAW.

I still cant figure out the "angle" here. looks like most people thought you were mocking and trying to debunk mixbus
Just a simple null test to see if Mixbus added any color to the mix or if it is simply the plugins. I actually learned more from the comments then my test.
Mix bus rules!!! LOL
tape on sub bus and master bus missing with the result phase maybe ...?!
Yes, someone pointed out that I still had a feature engaged.
Wow the Harrison sounds ten times better! If it can make a shitty song like that sound better I can’t wait to hear what it will do with some decent music!
As if you would know the difference.
There’s definitely a difference… do a complete mix using 2 different daws and you’ll hear the difference
Calling a plugin shit show before even showing it? I call it predgudice!
🤦 There are so many problems with this test (besides the terrible mic audio). Mixbus doesn’t “color” things unless you push into their onboard compression and the mild tape emulation on the master bus. As you’d expect.
The whole thing about mixbus is the tape saturation of using the mixbuses. Other than that. Nothing to see here!
If u don’t use this there wouldn’t be a difference in the file or sound
All the major daws have a mixer mode...I just dont see the point of this DAW....LOL...why not just use REASONS...OR LUNA....lol
He blew it when he put them in that sorry cakewalk program he should have just rendered them out as audio files because the way he did it, it gave everything the cakewalk sound....a very bad demonstration mad no sense at all. It was like using a downgraded DAW to test something that is an upgrade from it 😁😆😅
Hahah... it was a null test ya kook. And nothing was rendered in Cakewalk.
Useful video. More hiss on this video than Yngwie’s poodle hair.
Hey I happen to like the poodle hair:)))) Goes well with the Jaguar and Cheetah....Facing the Animal
Yo I didn’t think there were any bands today who still know how to make that bad ass old school hard rock! That’s worth watching the video alone.
Thank you sir, greatly appreciated!
the purpose of this video? there is no any
Summing dude, summing. You can't just output a 2 track and expect it to sound different.
Clearly you can as demonstrated in the video.
It's a cool test, but you left out the magic source (called a Bus)
Remember Mixbus raves about their vintage tape saturation.
so in order for that to work one need to send the file to a bus and not the main.
make sure saturation is on, it should be by default.
Watch the end. It failed the null test because Mixbus added saturation.
try to get the idea of a DAW emulating a multu track console.....you don't have any clou
