It emulates analogue gear by being as transparent as digital can get. It doesn't introduce any undesired digital artifacts such as aliasing, which is great. It does a great job keeping a clean and transparent signal flow. Mixbus is completely transparent, except for the tape emulation which introduces a short sequence of third order harmonics, nothing really fancy (there are certainly more complex and accurate tape emulation plugins out there). This sensation appears to be 100% psychological. I've heard a lot of people saying that it does add some pleasant qualities to your sound just by importing some tracks into it, but it does not, as far as I could test. Soundwise, it actually does nothing to your sound. Its "soul" is the GUI and the workflow and mixing mindset that derive from it. To sum up, its qualities, in my opinion, are way more psychological than technical. By suggesting you to mix with its own built-in effects (which are indeed of high quality), it imposes some kind of quality control over your mixes, preventing you from even wanting to add another third-party plugin which, most of the times, may introduced unpleasant artifacts to your signal flow. So, I believe that, by encouraging you to do more with less, it does help you to produce better mixes indeed. Mixbus is one of those cases where the GUI transmits a very cool analogue vibe and, in fact, it does a bit more because it cognitively directs your workflow by limiting your options, which helps to keep you focused on the most important aspects of mixing, instead of tweaking a zillion things which most likely would cause a negative cumulative effect at the end of the chain. Well, I've recently bought Mixbus 3 and have been intensively testing it for a about a week.įirst of all, I'm well aware of the emotional aspects of making music and that when it comes to producing ITB, the general importance that the interface (GUI) has over the perception and overall "feel" of things.
