Harrison Labs MIXBUS V2.0.2 - Manual (Page 79)

• VST Shell ( Waves ) plugins do not load. Some users find that the third-party application shell2vst.exe is a
workaround. ( Windows only ) A beta version with Waves Shell support is available for those who wish to test
this functionality.
• On systems with the minimum supported screen height (800 pixels), you may have significant problems with
track sizing, drawing, and even lockups or other serious issues with the editor. 2 workarounds exist: Do not
show the “Editor Mixer” (shift-e by default). Or minimize the size (or auto-hide) your desktop’s
Taskbar/Dock/launch bar to maximize screen height.
• Ripple Edit does not work on automation.
• Master bus "lookahead" latency is not compensated. It should be disabled when recording or bouncing tracks.
Mixbus 2.0.6
Changes (all platforms):
• Improved layout of the plugin selector dialog. Allows user to double-click plugins to remove them.
• Views may now be saved with ctrl+Fn keys, and recalled with the Fn key.
• Added 176.4kHz sampling rate.
• Fixed crash on session load caused by plugin fx sliders.
• Fixed problem with Russian sample-rate translation that kept Audio Engine from starting on systems using
Russian language.
Linux-specific changes:
• Fixed crash when deleting Invada LV2 plugins.
OSX-specific changes:
• Includes JACK 0.89 which provides support for ProTools software and improves support for older Protools
hardware such as MBox and other devices. ( ProTools and MBox are trademarks of Avid Technology, Inc).
Windows-specific changes:
• Added a full-featured VST plugin path manager in Windows->Preferences->Plugins.
• Added missing bindings files ( “Cubasish” and “ProToolish” )
• Dramatically improved file “import” speed.
• Several improvements to VST plugin loading, caching, and cache management. VST plugins which cause a
crash during scanning are now kept in a blacklist and will not be scanned after the first failure.
• Some VSTs would freeze the Mixbus editor GUI while knobs were held. This has been fixed.
• When scanning VST folders, a dialog apears to show each plugin as it is scanned.
• Many VST plugins ( particularly those based on the JUCE library) were unable to show their window. This has
been fixed.
• VST plugin windows were forced on top, which would sometimes obscure a dialog.
• Directsound audio devices are now more easily selectable, and separate input/output selections are easier.
• On 64bit systems, a 64/32-bit “mixed mode” JACK is now installed (finds more audio drivers that previously
required ASIO4ALL)
• When an ASIO device is selected, the device’s preferred buffersize is automatically selected.
• Systems with Windows installed on a drive other than C:\ should now work.
• Systems with file-paths using non-latin characters should now work.
• Fixed display of High EQ band on channel strips when they are in “narrow” mode.
KNOWN ISSUES:
• Some third-party plugins may cause crashes, strange noises, or other problems. We strive to sup-
port plug-ins as thoroughly as possible but due to the many variables (Computer platform, OS version, Mixbus
version, plug-in version, etc) it is not possible to guarantee that all 3rd-party plug-ins will work as expected on
your system.
• VST plugins must match the I/O of the track they are used on. Mono tracks require a mono VST plugin, and
stereo requires a stereo VST plugin. Many VST plugins only come in stereo variants. As a workaround, you can
create a stereo track for your mono audio regions (files) and use stereo VST plugins on these tracks. ( Windows
