However, the sluggish graphics adversely affects the enjoyment and productive use of the Mixbus user interface. Audio processing sounds fine on the single-core machine and created no xruns at fairly low latency. Mixbus runs on the 3800, but its screen redraws are struggling to keep up.
Both machines use nVidia graphics chipsets that are roughly equivalent in performance. I tested the program on two machines, a laptop with a dual-core AMD Turion-X2 and a desktop box with a single-core AMD 3800+ clocked at 2.4 GHz. Harrison's recommended minimal hardware requirements for Mixbus for Linux include a dual-core CPU and 1G memory. Desktop and menu icons will be installed for easily launching the program, and once the program's installed it's ready for use. After retrieving the tarball unpack it in your home directory, enter your new Mixbus-xxx subdirectory, and run the install.sh program (as root user). Mixbus can be purchased from the Harrison Web site. However, it is also reliant upon to and materially supportive of the Ardour project, and a portion of your Mixbus purchase goes to fund Ardour's development. I'll get the potential downside out of the way: Mixbus is a closed-source application that sells for real money ($79 US). Indeed, current Ardour users will find familiar territory in the Mixbus recorder/editor and a whole new world in the mixer section.įigure 1. Mixbus has been designed to emulate the best features of an analog mixer with the added value of Ardour's audio capabilities and Harrison's unique DSP core. Harrison consoles have been used to mix the soundtracks for many popular movies - see the advertisements on the site - and their products can be found in major broadcast, film, and audio post-production studios, as well as in live performance venues.
#MIXBUS PROCESSING PROFESSIONAL#
Mixbus (Figure 1) is a version of Ardour2 for Linux and OSX that replaces Ardour's native mixer with one designed by the Harrison company, a manufacturer of professional audio mixing boards.
