Mixbus review6/26/2023 ![]() There is an advanced panel with a number of parameters for tuning the tuning, modulation, parameters of the model (say if you want to have the sound of a very old hammond or an oddly tuned one), configuration and tuning of the leslie. You can even get down and change the crosstalk between the different tonewheels and the connections of the strips! There is a good deal of configuration of the parameters of the leslie, which makes it far more interesting to me than simply an accurate model of a specific device and its tuning. The leslie emulation sounds alright, however I’m in no place to judge the authenticity of it. The controls all still work as you move around the GUI. The displayed organ can be moved around in 3d space, which is interesting. It has a… interesting 3d GUI that’s rather difficult to read on my screen. ![]() SetBFree DSP Tonewheel Organ is a project that appears to be intended to model a tonewheel organ with a leslie speaker emulation. A 0 means that you’re on your own and need to buy entirely third-party products to complete a production, and a 100 means that you’d be a moron if you replaced any of these plug-ins without trying them out really well first. The overall rating is based how well the full package of Mixbus fulfills the needs of a musician, producer or recordist. This means that the ‘90 plug-in’ is fantastic when you need it, and the ‘48 plug-in’ is just good enough even if you use it constantly. You may see me rate something that few people would use often as a 90, and another plug-in that’s very useful as a 48. So… I use a scale of 0-100, and I modify my base rating as I’m going. Sometimes it’s something small that may make me want to knock down the rating a bit, or something fairly major that makes me wanna knock it up… but not a full point. Often I’ll learn something about them that I missed in my initial experience with the plug-in. I already have a good idea of what I think about these plug-ins from hours of use already, but while writing this up I am constantly checking the manual, videos and using them. So why don’t I just leave it at a scale of 0-10? Why good man, thank you for asking! 10: I would pay for this at competitive market price. ![]() 9: I often would select this over a paid plug-in of decent repute, OR a 7/8 with a really good GUI or some other very unique feature.7-8: Good with some unique feature, great GUI or other area of excellence.Whether it’s a 4, 5 or 6 depends largely on the GUI. 2-3: There might be a redeeming quality that is rarely useful, but mostly garbage tier or relatively useless.I also give this rating to things that should be part of the mixer, or things that are OK but lack options. I may give a full point of ‘1’ if it seems like they put in some semblance of thought in to the concept. 0-1: Garbage Tier plug-in that almost always does more harm than good. ![]() First I start out with my rough rating on a piece of paper on a scale of 0-10. These are my subjective evaluations of these products, but the ratings are not random. There’s going to be arbitrary ratings of ‘78’ or ‘33’ instead of ‘30’ or ‘80’. Spoiler - Overall rating MIDI Plugins: Contentsġ-100? Great. The selection of instruments is rather limited, but there is quite some depth to the realtime midi manipulation. In this post I’ll be covering the instruments and midi effects included with Mixbus.
