Description

Effortlessly sculpt your beats' sound with four user-friendly controls: Boom, Punch, Squash, and Air. Merge the warmth of analog processing with cutting-edge digital technology for a seamless experience. You can fine-tune your beats transparently or completely alter them with just a simple dial turn. With more than a dozen processors working behind the scenes, Beatformer revitalizes your beats with ease. Whether you're looking to unify your drum mix, inject energy into overly processed loops, or enhance the dynamics of your tracks, this tool allows you to infuse character and color into your creations. It adds depth to thin sounds and can instantaneously revolutionize your beats' sonic landscape. Beneath Beatformer’s straightforward and intuitive user interface lies a sophisticated signal flow, as illustrated in the accompanying diagram. In the upcoming sections, we will delve deeper into each Beatform control, starting with Air, which can either invigorate high frequencies or manage excessive highs. Air functions as a bipolar control, dynamically adding harmonics to the high frequencies of the signal, ranging from 0.0 to 10.0, thereby offering versatile sound-shaping capabilities.

Description

Among the myriad of digital audio workstations available, only one stands out for its unique design that mirrors the analog approach synonymous with Harrison, prioritizing form, function, and sound. Unlike conventional DAWs that follow a purely digital model, MIXBUS is rooted in Harrison's impressive 40-year legacy, which includes the production of iconic albums and blockbuster soundtracks such as Thriller, Graceland, and Spider-Man. As the first comprehensive DAW to offer genuine analog-style mixing capabilities, Mixbus brings a distinctive flavor to music production. Harrison has a remarkable background in audio technology; during the mid-1980s, the company pioneered fully-automated, digitally-controlled analog mixer technology, which was quickly embraced by leading film-mixing studios globally. With the advent of the digital age, we faced a challenge: convert the analog "processor" into a digital format without altering the beloved control surface. The demand from film mixers was clear—they wanted the digital setup to feel and sound just like the analog mixers they were accustomed to using for past projects. Consequently, this led us to innovate a digital audio engine that not only operated seamlessly but also replicated the rich sound quality of an analog mixer. This commitment to authenticity sets MIXBUS apart and celebrates Harrison’s enduring legacy in the audio world.
