![]() #3 So, what DOES MixBus do? It has two nice EQs. Same result, perfect signal cancelation down to -80 dB and well below the noise floor of consumer gear. To be sure, I lowered the volume levels of all tracks by the same amount, -3.3 dB, to see whether this makes a difference. You can pass a signal live through MixBus, or record it and play it back with MixBus, it is still going to sound the same. This shows, without doubt, that there is no special summing going on inside MixBus. Result: The 7 stereo tracks summed inside MixBus nulled completely with Logic's bounce track. I routed the Logic bounce track directly to my RME HDSPe Mixer (= TotalMix), bypassing the Harrison "summing engine". I routed the 7 tracks to the MixBus Master bus, to see if summing inside MixBus is different from that in Logic. I imported the Logic bounce track into MixBus, and lined it up with the 7 stereo tracks I recorded earlier. I then recorded the same 7 tracks simultaneously in realtime into MixBus. ![]() #2 I bounced the 7 tracks realtime in Logic, resulting in one bounce track. Result: The 7 stereo tracks streaming from Logic nulled completely with the same tracks going live through MixBus. However, I reckoned if MixBus really does something special to the signal when summing, it should be immediately apparent with complex material. The tracks were complete songs, consequently the resulting summed signal was total cacophony. #1 I streamed 7 very busy stereo tracks from Logic into MixBus. To be sure of what MixBus does or doesn't do, I put it through some tests. I spent a couple of days with wrapping my head around MixBus, Ardour, and Jack. Based on some of the glowing reviews on this thread, and in particular based on audio files posted by one of the board members that seemed to suggest MixBus sounds inherently different from "regular" DAWs, I bought a licence. ![]()
