Equally, once a user has invested both time and money in a particular DAW/sequencer product, the prospect of jumping ship to a competing product can be a daunting one. There are a small number of products that, for reasons of history, are perhaps considered the ‘professional’ choices. This is also a product category that has considerable inertia. It used to be the case that getting access to a top–flight DAW/sequencer meant paying top dollar, but in more recent years, we have seen the appearance of several low–cost options that are equally well-featured, such as Reaper and Tracktion.
#HARRISON MIXBUS FORUM SOFTWARE#
If anyone can provide a logical explanation for the way computer–based recording software is priced, I’m all ears. Harrison’s Mixbus offers large–format console sound at a budget price, and the addition of MIDI and third–party plug–in support broaden its appeal considerably. But things like SGA or VTM cover only one aspect per plugin.The Mixer window in Mixbus 3 sees Harrison's large-format console design recreated in software.

if you could get say just SatX ported that would cover a full spectrum of saturation. The plugins above cover all categories between them. I don't want to be too negative here or bash any more products which is why i created a favourites list instead. I wouldn't even bother with things like waves kramer/mcdsp analog channel/toneboosters and so many more. Price hasn't factored into it, whether cheap or expensive, these are the ones that i feel can add that truly warm and subtle analog saturation/glue, and behave properly like analog when driven. The criteria i judge by is combined by sound and workflow.

I have tried every single style of analog warmth/drive/tape on the market, there are so many of them in vst/au/aax land, and these to me, are the cream of the crop. I won't mention a certain tape plugin that was supposed to happen as that would have been a good start, but we all know that's a non starter now.Īlso all the UAD saturation plugins are epic but obviously they can be counted out as well (at least for the foreseeable future).Īlso of course, the above is all just my subjective opinion, but it is absolutely honest. Iztotope Tape Emulator (they would just need to take that one module from ozone and port it)

MellowMuse SatV (real old but also well underrated) SSL Duende X Saturator (my favourite native saturator of all time) LSR Audio Tubehance (*criminally* underrated) These could all absolutely be ported to fit into the reason rack. Time and effort vs projected return reward for a small platform.īy the way, if any of you are interested, here are my favourite saturation plugins of all time, if you guys need a general direction on which devs to approach to try and get stuff ported.
#HARRISON MIXBUS FORUM CODE#
You need someone with already established code to do a direct port, it's too much of an outlay to ask a small indi RE dev to do such a huge task from scratch, including the pain staking measuring of the analog equipment. It's such a hard category to program (been speaking to a few devs about what goes into this sort of thing, and it's mammoth). Again it's because i feel it truly needs a special kind of dev with certain skills (imo). I must admit i am so surprised since these plugins fit the rack ethos so perfectly, and RE's have been out four years now, how no one has done a proper one. Reason is the one daw you can't really do a convincing analog summing/recording emulation in at all at present unfortunately. My advice is to bug these devs to fill that hole in the RE market. Slate should do VCC for analog summing, which is ideal for the reason rack, and ik should release this in RE format:Īgain, how ideal would that be for the rack. if a big name dev like IK get on board some day, that's when you guys will get something convincing in this regard. Probably the hardest plugins to do properly. The biggest hole in the RE market is analog emulation. Sat knob was a quick port of existing code, and is the only "meh sort of a quarter way there" option (that can indeed sound great on some stuff). I approached the most respected RE devs about it too but I guess it was just too big an ask. I was pretty much campaigning for quite a while to see this sort of thing in reason to no avail.
