Mixbus forum12/16/2023 Is that a yes to open the program or a yes to say you're not sure? Vista: Are you sure you want to open this program? > install program or give computer a command LOL here's the other thing I hated about Vista: I'm still using XP Pro on my desktop and it's as stable as a rock. I upgraded to 7 and the problems disappeared. I had it on my laptop and I found it to be buggy, and it didn't work well with some of the progs (and plugs) I was using. that's just my opinion of course, I'm not a Vista fan. You may want to either downgrade to XP Pro or move up to W7. has a firewire port and hi speed usb an an Nvida video card. the comp i'm looking at is an HP (yeah i know hps suck) but it's been stripped and reloaded clean with vista. Yeah i tried Adour on my existing computer and i couldn't make much sense of it. i found one on the CL for $239 i got a buck and a half saved right now so maybe in a few when payday rolls around i'll get the computer.

If you want to work with midi tracks, my advice would be to do so within a DAW like PT, Sonar, Samplitude, Logic, etc., and then convert those midi files to audio tracks, at which point you would then import them into the Harrison prog for mixing.Īll in all, certainly not what I would consider a waste of $40. It was designed to be emulative of the classic Harrison analog mixer. then again, that's not really what this program was designed for. It did not seem to recognize any of my Antares plugs, which includes auto-tune and the microphone library/emulator. It seemed to recognize and accept most all current major plug formats I have - waves, steinberg, cakewalk, etc, as well as some other third party stuff I have by Blue Tubes and Kjaerhouse, etc. You can then select the various directories that hold your vst's for scanning. Instead, go to the "Window" pull down menu at the top, select "preferences" at the bottom of this menu, and then "scan for plugs". don't use the plugin manager, as this only seems to recognize the Harrison plugs that come resident with the program. Getting it to recognize plugs took a little bit of doing at first. Plugs that are not recognized, or those that are recognized with the caveat that there may be difficulty in using them, are put on a "blacklist" so that the program doesn't continue to scan these every time the program is booted up. The program even puts up a warning window in reference to the vst scanner, saying that crashes upon first use of the scanner are common and even to be expected. (I am using an Athlon dual core 2.2 ghz, running Windows XP Pro, with 2 gig ram available, and so far I haven't encountered any issues). I've been pushing it, and have yet to get it to freeze up or crash. It's smooth in its translation and action of commands and settings. Not too sensitive, like a lot of plugs where if you barely breathe on them the sound changes dramatically, but not too clunky where you have to make serious alterations and crank sh*t up to +20 to even hear a minor difference. I found the various parameter controls and settings to be very similar to that of an older console. Hell, you could drop a lot more than $40 on a tape emulation or decent GR processor plug alone, never mind an entire platform that gives you access to these processors at both the track and bus levels. I like the way the per channel EQ sounds and the built in channel compressor/limiter/leveler does exactly what you would expect it to do, without a lot of fussing around. Certainly for the money, and maybe even better than just for the money, they sound very good. The built in GR processing and tape saturation sections on the track level, as well as on the master 2-bus, are nice. If you are from the old school and like the layout of a classic console, you'll probably like the GUI on this. apparently it will not work within XP Home Edition.) There is also a version for Mac and Linux.Ībsolutely what it claims - a GUI very reminiscent of working on an older analog desk. (I'm using it in a Windows environment, XP Pro.
