Harrison mixbus 32c vs pro tools5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() I do use 2 track editors for mastering sometimes, like Sound Forge, but I really like to be able to jump from song to song when I'm trying to make the record sound homogenous. I'm not a mastering-only engineer, I do a lot of tracking and mixing too. Mixbus32C provides professional-level features to import or record an unlimited number of audio or MIDI tracks to your computer then edit, mix and master your production. "don't most mastering-only engineers use things like WaveLab almost exclusively? I mean, especially Mixbus is so full of "character", doesnt it imprint the end master files a whole lot?" When comparing Pro Tools 2018.7 vs Harrison Mixbus, the Slant community recommends Harrison Mixbus for most people.In the questionWhat are the best DAWs Harrison Mixbus is ranked 21st while Pro Tools 2018.7 is ranked 28th. Mixbus 32C is a full-featured digital audio workstation that improves on the Mixbus platform with an exact emulation of the original Harrison 32C parametric four-band sweepable EQ, and 4 additional stereo summing buses. I am digging the sound, nothing comes close or gets me there as easily. (03-02-2017, 08:54 PM)Mixing The Band Wrote: "This is a standard use here" Great to hear that. I use WL just to finalise, limiting, chain song, Code. (03-02-2017, 05:51 PM)Bassface Wrote: don't most mastering-only engineers use things like WaveLab almost exclusively?

Sometimes I master in Izotope Ozone standalone, sometimes I import the tracks into Pro Tools and master there with plugins, sometimes I just use Har-Bal, it depends.

This may become my preferred method for mastering, I really love the rich sound and creamy smoothness Mixbus imparts. The client said the mixes sound "wonderful". I didn't use any channel or bus dynamics for this, just the final limiter in Ozone, which was hardly even active, because it was an acoustic record that did not need to be "pushed". The channel EQ and filters were helpful, and I dialed in a bit more saturation on the buses and master. 2) Buses: Mixbus provides 8 stereo mix-buses, with send-levels on every channel strip. But feature-wise and sound-wise, it meets nearly any need for equalization you would rarely if ever need to add an additional EQ. I inserted Ozone on all the tracks so I could perform minor corrections with Mid/Side EQ and multiband compressor, and level matched the mixes with the channel trim control. The 32C EQ requires a larger monitor, to fit all the controls on-screen. Immediately, I noticed all of the songs sounded better, a bit more lifelike after mixing in Pro Tools, without adding any plugins. So I imported the mixes, each on it's own track, and assigned each to it's own Mixbus. I recently picked up Mixbus32c, and thought it would be a great move to try to master in Mixbus. I have a number of ways I set up a session for mastering. ![]()
