I have a V-Rack with a bus for each effect with the appropriate compensation. I've done this to use my UAD-1 card in a G5 with DP on an iMac using ADAT to route audio between the two machines. You can put the channel with the compensation in your template in a V-Rack which you leave turned off until needed, or in a clipping so it's available whenever you want it. You only have to do this once for a specific piece of hardware. Use AUSampleDelay or one of the delay comp utilities on the channels in question. Set the DP timeline to measure in samples, and zoom in so you can see one sample.

Record a MIDI note if the external unit is a sound generator or audio signal if its a processor. I would be nice if DP has a delay detector, but it's really pretty simple to do the same thing manually. I hope MOTU realizes this and will give priority in implementing 'external inserts' in their next DP update.

#HARRISON MIXBUS 32C ANALOG PRO#

Pro and semi pro studios are already there a long time ago. With the advent of this plethora of 500 series units and taking into account the fact that they are relatively affordable, more and more musicians and home studios choose to go towards the hybrid DAW/external analog processing route. The way Mixbus or PT accomplishes this routing is very elegant in that it actually makes a single in/out connection within a single insert slot and at the same time it measures and compensates for the resulting latency ! Yes, of course you can route any audio via the inserts to an external processor and return it through an AUX track in DP but the main problem is that there is no way to measure the latency and then compensate. It should be possible to slave DP transport to Mixbus so you can work in Mixbus on a sequence sitting in DP, but with V2 the sync was inconsistent. You can set it up as an outboard mixer for DP by using the 64 channel version of Soundflower to route audio to and from. Otherwise, it's just a limited version of Ardour which it is based on (and can be had for $1) I can't see the point of all the effort to develop a DAW when the only thing it really offers is the Harrison emulation. I wish they'd just start selling the basic channel strip and summing algorithm as plugins you can use with any DAW.

You can use regular native plugins with it, odd because Mixbus2 appeared to be a trojan horse for Harrison's plugins.

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.

#HARRISON MIXBUS 32C ANALOG 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 !Д®ven 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.
