True Analog Mixing offers a virtual mixing surface based on Harrison’s 32-Series and MR-Series console designs, plus Harrison’s proprietary digital mixing technology.
Mixbus enables the user to record, edit, and mix a musical performance “in the box” but get a sound reminiscent of the golden age of album recordings, and offers engineers a Harrison music console “in the box”.
With Mixbus’s logical knob-per-function interface, the user works with the fluidity of a traditional analog recording studio while retaining the convenience of a DAW.
