Mixbus 32C has become a necessary part of my workflow when I have to work in-the-computer for projects. Production needs may require me to build my tracks/record in other DAWs, but I always come to Mixbus to mix. Why?

Just sounds better the minute I throw the faders up. When I started using it feedback from clients was immediate and good.

EQ and channel-strip compressor are all I need for most situations paired with some decent reverb and delays (in or out of the box). Check the Harrison plugins – the Deesser alone is terrific, the gates are very effective on drums, and the very novel character EQ plugins often get me there faster. All in all, it’s a good way to work

hi chris i love the harrison sound, too, and i bought an MR-3. I have to work on it for repair and i had to learn all electronics. i often look on the web about it; hard to find knews. at this time i m in contact with them for some pieces and they answers for my unit even if she’s old. It’s an amazing company, they are able to carry all this work with only a little team. And for me it’s just the reference sound of my ears. I born in there area and the records made on harrison had always a deep an warm sound. I born in 1975, my aunt and my other was listening to ABBA. At 7 Years old I had Thriller in 45t Format. Later i learned guitar and i was a great lover of ACDC LED Zeppelin. I had a strange feeling when i discovered sade, on sweetest taboo. After my studies, i became teacher, and i build my studio. When i was looking for a console. I discover that my first record was done by Bruce Swedien on an Harrison. I was so excited when i saw that Bruce was just the best. I heard so many of is disk without knowing that he was the ingeneer. at this time no question, Harrison is just the best. There was just one available in France, and i bought it…it was few month ago before the 950 MX was released. But when i heard the console the first time kind of blue was played to test. And i had a vibration , it was like if the guys are playing where there. So i bought it without talking the price. It’s after when i continue my research, i was looking converter. That i had the idea to see if the company was still existing…and sure it was…how a so good company can fail? Maybe it’s the rarety of the products, the concepts of the vintage that make me thought….but they are so high leveled that they work with big company making so hudge console. But they had to follow and they have do mixbus and this 950mx. The process had not change;it’s hudge. I bought a converter from them. it was build in very nice conditions never had any problems. And for the anecdocte. when it arrived from nashville, he arrived in paris in 48H max…then it take a 4 DAYS to come from the airport to my house (about 30 KMS)…so at this point it’s just the best world manufacturer of console..

Chris, Harrison also makes a killer “virtual console” DAW software, Harrison Mixbus. They also have a software version of the 32C.
