I still feel that the lack of a trial version is a shortcoming of the product line. So I'll spend the money, and then I can see if it works. After looking at some of the screen shots I decided to give it a try. I usually won't commit significant money blindly to something that may or may not offer any meaningful advantages to me. With 3.3 there is a big chunk of empty space on every channel as it stands, and it seems like some of that could be used to fit in the extra EQ controls.Ī time-limited trial version would also be very helpful in making these kinds of purchasing decisions. But I'm not prepared to buy two monitors that I otherwise don't need on speculation like that.Īt any rate, it seems to me that it would be possible to reduce that monitor requirement. If it were merely a matter of paying the upgrade price, I'd be tempted to do that. In the case of the latter, I have no way to determine whether I would find the difference between 32C and 3.3 worth the expense (again, with no way to try it out and see how different it is before buying). As it stands, my only options seem to be to buy it against a strong recommendation from Harrison, or else to buy a couple of 4K monitors. If there were a limited-time free trial, I might be able to check out 32C to see if I could set it up in a way which I find to be usable with my existing monitors. I have two 1920x1080 monitors, which work fine with Mixbus 3.3. This is a shame, because it used to be common to see monitors with 1920x1200 resolution, but they are nowhere to be found these days, at least not in the ordinary channels. These days on the PC side my choices of monitors from normal, mainstream sources seem to be generally limited to HD resolution (1920x1080), or the next step up, 4K. The “number pad”, which appears on some full-size keyboards, has some special behavior.The main factor that prevents me from buying 32C is that strong recommendation of a monitor at least 1200 pixels high. This will open your internet browser window, with a list of currently active keyboard shortcuts. *If you’d like to print your current keyboard shortcuts, visit Window->Keyboard Shortcuts and click the button “Print Keyboard Shortcuts”. You can see the current keybindings for any action beside the corresponding item in the main menu. ( you can then make a hardcopy print of this page from your browser, if you like )īecause keybindings change slightly between Mac and Windows, and because we are regularly adding new features that might require keybindings, we no longer provide the keybindings in this manual. Print Bindings: click this to “print” a complete list of your shortcuts to a web page.Reset Bindings : click this button to reset ALL of your shortcuts to the factory defaults for your platform ( Mac, Win or Linux ).Remove Shortcut : click this to clear the currently-selected shortcut.For example “play” will hide any actions that don’t have the word “play” in their name. Search bar: use this field to display only the shortcuts that match the search term.If you try to assign a keyboard shortcut that is already in use, Mixbus will tell you which action is already assigned, and prevent you from “stealing” it.To assign a shortcut: select an action with your mouse, and then press the keyboard shortcut (with modifier) that you’d like to assign to that action.Shortcut browser : Use this area to find shortcuts ( categorized by their normal menu location ).Tabs : This selects between the “Global” shortcuts, and the window-specific ( Editor, Mixer, etc ) shortcuts.The Global shortcuts take precedence over the window shortcuts. These global shortcuts generally control the Transport (which you’ll want from any window) and the window-switching functions. Mixbus provides a set of “Global” shortcuts that work from any window. If you change your keyboard shortcuts, your shortcuts will be stored in the user preferences folder. You can change the key shortcuts via Window->Keyboard Shortcuts in the main menu. Appendix C: Videos (Training and Tutorial)Īny “action” found in the Mixbus main menu can be initiated from a keyboard “shortcut”.īy default, Mixbus provides a selection of keyboard shortcuts that provides a good balance between easy-to-remember mnemonic actions (such as “L” for looping) and ergonomic actions for power users ( such as J and K for trimming a region’s start/end ).AVL Drumkits: Black Pearl and Red Zeppelin.Presonus Faderport, Faderport8 and Faderport16.Mackie MCU-compatible fader controllers.Scrolling and Zooming in the Editor Window.Operational Differences from Other DAWs.Differences between Mixbus and Mixbus 32C.About This Manual (online version and PDF download).
