Hi,
Are the Harrison consoles used as a reference for the development of Mixbus (the original, not the 32C) using software for the channel strips ? And if so, was then the port to Mixbus consisting of a port of the software used in those mixing consoles ?
Thanks.
Mixbus is not a 'port' of our large-format digital consoles. But all of the sound and workflow were developed by the same engineers who made the original analog and digital consoles. Mixbus is a new, lower-cost product, made by the same guys who made (and continue to make) million-dollar consoles.
Some of the Mixbus "XT" plugins are very close equivalents of our XTools plugins for the film consoles. But there are slight differences there, as well, to accommodate the difference between dedicated console hardware and a computer desktop.
Thanks. Are the large-format digital consoles using software for EQ, or are they using hardware circuits ?
The analog consoles use circuits (of course), the digital consoles use software. There have been several generations of digital DSP hardware, starting with some Sharc DSP-based systems, then an FPGA ( never released ), and now a 64bit Intel-based system.
