I heard about Mixbus through word of mouth. Smartly, Harrison is generous with the demo and didn't force-expire after 7-14 days like a lot of companies do with their products.
After trying it I immediately believed in what the company was trying to accomplish, but it took a couple of versions before I really "got it" and had to have it. Version 7 is what did it for me!
Last night I tried a test mix with existing stems, to compare with my previous version mixed in another DAW... The result was incredible. My quick mix in Mixbus32C sounded better than the one I slaved over in another DAW. (!)
This isn't to say there's anything wrong with that other DAW. Rather, it's a testament to the benefit of surfacing the EQ, compressor, and saturation on every channel in Mixbus32c. On my large 4k monitor I can see all of this at once, with ease. Having instant access to these controls meant that I could make faster decisions while jumping through fewer hoops. I got into that state where I just used my ears and made decisions that sounded good -- and it worked.
The different stages of EQ, compression, and saturation all feel intelligently designed to work well together. Everything was pretty intuitive in terms of navigation. I just got in, did a mix, and ended up with better results faster than in my other DAW.
Luckily the intro price sale was still on, and I jumped on it!
Like I said, it was word of mouth that introduced me to Harrison Mixbus. One person said they use it almost like a VR game simulation -- playing the role of an audio mix engineer using a real hardware console. Another told me they use Mixbus32c because they can get their music to quickly "sound like a record" when using it. (Same experience I had.)
So with that in mind, I'm going to do my part to spread the word to others wherever I can. I don't think Harrison has a giant marketing budget, so the users and loyal fans can play a role in telling others about this DAW which is truly unique, and really in a special category from any other.
Let's spread the word!
