Harrison Mixbus V3? - Gearspace.com
Able to be selectively hidden. Clicking the arrow shape would toggle hiding/unhiding of both mixbus modules (and if both shown, then optionally hide the slit, itself) or reverting to which, if either, of the two mixbus processor modules you chose to have hidden. Even cooler would be an alt-click function that would act as a momentary toggle, in effect just 'peeking' at the placement of where you have your mixbus modules ordered in the mixer's audio procesing chain. (In fact, in that case one could toggle a key command toggling 'peek' mode while also being able to drag and reorder the processors arrangement!) Now I understand why Harrison chose to keep their native processor modules unhidden in contrast to all other plugins, but, it still takes up useful screen space and doesn't really need to be seen at all times. That's not to say it isn't a very cool and versatile feature Harrison gave us with v3 cause it is. With the slit in place, taking up only a marginal amount of space, Harrison can still keep their native processor modules separate and exclusive from the rest while having a dedicated spot in the mixer strip that draws_attention_to/notifies_the_user_of their presence. (I would be remiss to not add that, as with all DAW features, there should be a keyboard command mappable equivalent for everything at all times. It's not complicated and it's not overkill. It's customizable, optional, and it's how Power Users roll.) It should go without saying I think the EQ and Pan knobs at the least, should be customizable. Wonder what other people think of the GUI idea.[attachment=281]And from slightly another POV... Has 3D/flat option any impact on CPU usage? I mean. Does the 3D mode take more juice from my computer? (Shadows, gradients, textures – it must eat some cycles to draw...)Thanx,StepaanI like the v3 GUI. It's quite nice. But...........everyone has their own opinion, of course. But, as both a user and a GUI programmer, I personally much prefer the MB2.5 mixer graphics. Particularly on a large monitor, it just looks and "feels" like a real console......2.5 mixer Harrison Mixbus Forum › Mixbus User Forum › Mixbus General Discussion MIXBUS V3 GUI Harrison Mixbus Forum Mixbus User Forum Mixbus General Discussion MIXBUS V3 GUI.

Thanks for the update Ben. And to the apparent new subject of this thread. I am running OS X 10.10.4 on an HP z600. A hackintosh. And at this point it's quite stable for me. I know I can't rename busses in the mix window. So I don't. And I still haven't figured out how to use midi instruments. But that's okay. I didn't have them before. Is mb3 perfect? No. Useable? For me absolutely. And while I can understand the frustrations. I think giving up now is way too early. Most of us have waited for months to get v3. Months. Now a week or two after getting v3 you're done? Come on. These guys are working their tails off. They got v2 to a very stable place. I have no doubt v3 will get there also. And I'm sure they didn't see these issues in beta testing. Else we would all still be waiting. But they thought v3 was ready for delivery. And as with all software after a new release, users find things that didn't show up in testing. They will get it sorted. And remember at most you paid $79 for v3. I've spent more than that on almost any one of my plug-ins. So while it is money, and I understand living on a budget. I work 60 hours a week at two jobs, neither of which are audio related, just to provide for my wife and two boys. I still wouldn't ask for a refund if i did have a show stopping bug. I would patiently wait for Harrison to come through. They will. And to those that don't have a v2 license and can't use v3. Maybe contact Harrison and see if they will give you one. So you can see how great mixbus is. Even if this version isn't working for you yet. I can tell you one thing. The guys behind the scenes are working their butt off for you. Whether you realize it or not. I don't know them personally, but what email correspondence i have had, has been outstanding. As good as metric halo. Not sure anyone has better support than either of those companies. Seriously. They are fantastic. Posts: 473 Threads: 16 Joined: Oct 2013 Reputation: 6 Well said, Matt!
