Harrison Labs MIXBUS V2.0.2 User Manual
Page 74
All Platforms:
• Some third-party plugins may cause crashes, strange noises, or other problems. We strive to support plug-ins as
thoroughly as possible but due to the many variables (Computer platform, OS version, Mixbus version, plug-in ver-
sion, etc) it is not possible to guarantee that all 3rd-party plug-ins will work as expected on your system.
• Pressing “Tab” when editing a track name will advance to the next track so you can name it. However this will
simultaneously do a “Tab to Transient”. This is annoying but non-destructive.
• 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 / auto-hide / move to the side) 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.
Windows-specific issues:
• 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
• Mouse disappears on some VST plugin windows. Clicking the mouse button normally displays it
OSX-specific issues:
• Mixbus reports a generic "can't load session" message instead of the more explicit "out of ports" mes-
sage that appears on Linux. If you get the "can't load session" dialog, check the Audio Setup tab, under
Options/Number of Ports, verify that the number is higher than 128 (512 is a good number).
Linux-specific issues:
• On some systems with proprietary opengl drivers (ATI and NVIDIA), some users have reported extremely slow
drawing speed. A workaround is to set the environment variable “FORCE_BUGGY_GRADIENTS”, which will tell
Mixbus to draw color gradients in software rather than hardware-accelerated. For more details, contact Harrison via
email ( [email protected]).
