And multi-band and parallel splits is something that MixBox cannot do (yet). I get the idea that IK initially kept it simple, expecting you to leverage you DAW features for complex signal routing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Also the free Studio Rack has Macro controls. You can assign them to any of the controls on any of the fx in the rack. Oh and the Multiband split is not only one split of your choice, it's 5 splits of your choice!! Really nice rack for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locrian Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Grem said: Really nice rack for free! Agreed. I'm in the process of making FX chains for vocals, guitars, bass and drums that can be easily 'dropped' into new projects and then just tweaked a bit rather than starting from scratch. I've done this in the past with Soundtoys' Effect Rack, but their FXs are more geared to just sweetening rather than also fixing and enhancing. It would be great if there were a 'universal' chainer possessing all the features of StudioRack but also able to load *any* plugin in your collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rack is FREE because all of Waves plugins work in it, AND they are not "tied" to the Rack. Same concept with Mixbox except the plugins ARE tied to the Rack...and it's NOT FREE! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 At least Soundtoys was smart enough to realize that for people who already owned Soundtoys 5, they would NOT pay $299.99 for a "Rack"....so they gave it to them...IK...not so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on! And thanks for reminding me about Soundtoys, they are giving me a great upgrade price every year around Black Friday/Xmas so I should start saving now . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antler Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 On the subject of plugin racks, I think Kilohearts have a nice concept too: the Snap Heap host/rack is free, and allows for serial/parallel processing. It comes with six basic plugins, and you can buy the others individually/in bundles as you need them. Each of the plugins can be used on their own, or in Snap Heap, or in (their paid-for synth) Phase Plant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillmy Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 With Unfiltered Audio TRIAD that is multiband and has so many effects and modulations. Plus having Reason Rack Plugin also many effects and modulations. I think I am covered when it comes to multi effects plugins. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
