Harrison Mixbus is a
Mixbus provides the features of Ardour, with additional functionality from proprietary DSP, replicating the workflow, signal path and sound of a Harrison console.
Each channel strip in Mixbus features analog modeled 3 band EQ (including a high pass filter), compression (with 3 compressor types), panning, and summing.
It includes 8 stereo mixbuses featuring tone controls, tape saturation, compression (including a sidechain compressor).
The master bus is similar to the mixbuses but has the additions of a limiter, a K14 meter for loudness monitoring and a stereo correlation meter.
Mixbus started out as an audio only workstation. In earlier versions, it also depended on the JACK audio server as its backend. Since version 3, Mixbus supports both audio and MIDI tracks and it no longer depends on JACK, although JACK can still be used as one of its audio backends.
