cclarry Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Changes in v5.2 Additions: x42-limiter plugin: a brickwall lookahead limiter with intuitive graphical metering and in-line mixerstrip display of gain reduction. (FREE) Improvements: Tweak to channelstrip compressor which results in less distortion on bass-heavy signal. Allow recording directly to FLAC format files (approx 50% space-savings over .wav) Allow exporting directly to mp3 format (with selectable quality settings, and an option to include session metadata) ogg/vorbis encoding quality can now be configured The session’s start marker should never move automatically after the user has manually set the start or end marker time. In the past, the start marker would always move to accommodate any recording that was done before the start time; now, the start marker won’t move if the user has explicitly set the start (or end) marker somewhere. When auditioning a MIDI file in the Import dialog, you will now hear the synth that is selected in the Track setup menu. So you can audition the file through the synth that will be placed on the track after import. GMSynth now defaults to Drum patch on Ch10 (this fixes General MIDI files that don’t explicitly set a drum patch on channel 10) Selection-after-split improvementsThe “entered” region now has priority when doing a region split action (‘S’ shortcut)This fixes the unexpected case where you try to split an unselected a region, but Nothing happens OR Some other selected region (maybe off-screen) is split Range mode now has its own options, after a Split: Clear the selection Preserve the Selection ( default ) Click U to select all the regions inside the range Click ESC to clear the range Force a Selection (changes the Range to a Region selection) Additional selection-after-split options are now available: Automatically select only the regions BEFORE or AFTER the split point. (this might be nice for voiceover or podcast editing, where you are advancing left-to-right, making edits on a single track) “Range -> Draw Tool -> Drag” fixes Fixed problem where you could not adjust a range of automation if there wasn’t already a line there. Brightened the ghost waveforms in automation lanes (click “Preferences->Appearance->Colors->Reset to defaults” to see the new color) New shortcuts for the Mixer section: Shift + S = Summary L = editor and mixer Lists V = VCAs B = mixbuses M = Monitor section New Shortcuts for Monitor section: Cmd+M = Mute Cmd+Shift+M = Mono Cmd+Alt+M = Dim New “Window->DSP Usage” reports the cpu usage of your plugins. "Grouped" tracks were set to use a default region-selection mode which made no sense. We've created a new mode that uses the Layer information, and made this the default. (I should probably make a video to explain this) VCA's and Mixbuses will now "snap" to the left edge of the scrolling pane VST plugins will now show the correct bypass state, when loaded, if the plugin publishes its bypass control with effSetBypass VST plugins will now show natural numbers in addition to the 0...1 range in automation lanes and Generic UI window. This requires that the plugin provides the functions to convert values into their text representation When a new VCA is added, force the VCA pane to appear in the mixer (solves the problem where: user creates a new VCA, but it doesn't appear anywhere) Replicated plugins (multi-mono) now just show a prefix of "*" in the plugin area; instead of "(2x1)" or similar. This saves space in the plugin. Add phase labels -180..180 deg for plugin analysis display (yet another) change to VST instrument handling: Should correctly categorize more VSTi’s in the “Instrument” category. Preserve sidechain port-count, when a track is created from a template Observe preference to name new markers when making a range marker Mix save/recall will now remember the last recalled setup When clicking Tab to enter track names, automatically skip over any rec-armed tracks Dramatic speedup of populating the region-list in the editor; this will speed-up loading of sessions that have lots of edits. Put the sidechain ports into a dedicated tab of the audio i/o dialog Sort factory-presets alphabetically in the VST preset menu Region list should use Primary clock mode, not the secondary clock When duplicating a set of tracks, we will now preserve the order of the newly created tracks. Updated French and German language translations Control Surface Improvements: Added support for Novation Launch Control XL (LCXL) control-surface (thanks to Jan Lentfer) Fixes: Fix an issue where the message “some files cannot be used by Mixbus” would occur randomly during mixing/editing for some users Fixed an issue where session archives required a manual unzip step, rather than using the archive action Fixed a long-standing problem where the visibility state of some mixer elements ( mixbus pane, vca pane, monitor section ) would not be saved correctly, the first time you opened a session after creating it Fix automation edits, when doing a “Track->remove-time” Fixed a crash when importing a file that requires resampling, into a session with a fixed-point audio file format (24bit or 16bit) Fix an issue with midinam files that could result in extra patch names in the menu Fix various issues arising when the audio engine is disconnected Honor the session sample-rate and don’t let it be changed when the engine is off Fix an issue in video export (changes to the "time range" dropdown menu were ignored after the first export) Fixed a problem that -might- cause some dropped notes feeding VST instruments Fixed a possible crash when printing keybindings Fixed a potential crash when opening a popup menu Fixed a crash when loading some .sf2 soundfonts in a-fluidsynth Windows: Allow “global” path C:/ProgramData/harrisonconsoles as a search path for license file. MacOS: Make it easier to find external drives (some users didn’t understand they are shown under ‘Volumes’) AU plugin presets: in v5.1, AU presets could not be created or recalled. This has been fixed. Mark preset ‘dirty’ when a parameter changes Allow removing AU presets Linux: Allow dynamic MIDI port detection/re-connect (hotplug hardware) Fix key-forwarding to linux VST plugin windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-53mph Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 That's a lot of fixes - kind of suggests version 5 was a bit *glitchy I tried the demo during the Cakewalk debacle a few years back and was underwhelmed. Very difficult to use on a laptop. I noticed it has a linux version, which has peaked my interest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just tried playing virtual-instruments in MB32C. Even with an ASIO buffer size of 32-sample (at 96k), you can really feel the lag. This doesn't happen with any other major DAW application. I like a lot about Mixbus, but that's a show-stopper for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GUI and everything about it has "Linux developer" written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwise Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have a v4 license, but never used it due to poor UX. Pulled the trigger to get v5, hoping to use it for mixing in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywtelejazz Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I think I like V 5 the best so far . It's runny pretty good over here for what I do . Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashay Arekar Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The only other DAWs I use apart from our own Cakewalk are Reaper and FL Studio.... I like these three DAWs.... All three are somewhat different in their workflow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwise Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Mixbus v5 is as buggy as it can get. Major workflow areas such as audio routing, mixbusses' visibility are plagued with unexpected errors. Very disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
