Lastly is the ui and how they follow existing hardware. I love how ios offers new and innovative uis and its a big draw for me but I've also realised there is space for traditional apps that emulate hardware with great sound and no bells and whistles.

Very true in regards to a familiar ui.
Not everyone wants or needs an innovative ui.
Having something familiar to draw upon does have it's uses.

The results from using these apps on some of my old tracks is worth the cost already. They work out about 55p an app which is amazing

That's a good way of putting it.

From a financial stand point that's a win, win.
Considering it costs half price at the moment
that's a great deal over years of usage.

When I was using desktops, I used to use the Waves plugins.
After a year in usage, I had discovered I tended to
ignore almost all of the plugins except the SSL-E.
For some reason I didn't get on with the SSL-G.

So my next question is this.
Does MixBox have an SSL-E in this combo?
as I personally have everything else covered.

Ik do make a ssl emulation but not in mixbox sadly. Not sure if they plan to offer add ons to the current package but their ssl would be a great addition

The British EQ and Bus Compressor are hinting SSL but not clear, to me at least, which revision they are modelled on.

Edit: Reading the article below suggests the E-series EQ (242) would be the obvious choice to model and was fitted to many G-series consoles. I’m getting the impression that the Bus Compressor is a G-series thing.

Yw ! 😉 I particularly like the end of this IK Multimedia's answer

Intriguing, I smell IAPs though...

Gavinski

I think he means ‘youtube videos’ you can watch about the app, actually, that’s the way I read what he was saying when he said ‘content coming out’: watch the videos coming out, they will help you make up your mind whether to buy or not.

You just shattered my dreams! 😂 I was expecting Modo Drums, Sampletank 5, some real updates for Syntronik (which, in 3 years, has never received any update but stability patches... no new features, no presets import/export 😞)

Sorry to burst your balloon dude 😂

@ikmultimedia Just purchased and happy I did. Few questions.
1. I’am using Mixbox as Au in Beatmaker3. Not sure how to save presets or is this option only in stand alone?
2. Will it be possible to add a eq /compressor pre/post switch for the channel strip. Its currently eq after compressor only.
3. Can you add a peak/soft & hard clip to the Limiter to stop audio signals going over 0db
4. How do I move module positioning within Mixbox?

Thanks for generous intro discount 50% Well worth it

The vocal chains alone are worth it.

Long press a module until it is highlighted the drag to move

There is Save As... in the top section of the Rack menu. You may have to navigate back to it, which is a little scary 😨

4. How do I move module positioning within Mixbox?

Press and drag.

@gusgranite @mojozart cheers

@mojozart I can’t see the preset Save As in the top section of Rack menu? Is this in Auv3 ? Thanks in advance

Samu

So I caved in got this thing. Let's just hope that there's not too many bugs in there to be discovered...
(And If there is let's just hope for a quick remedy then...).

stormbeats

@mojozart found it / presets saving is at bottom of screen Yeah its bit tricky to spot and save . Cheers though

@ikmultimedia can you add a volume output dial to tape cassette possibly

@mojozart cheers yes just discovered mixer options. Very handy

Shout out to the graphics in the Rack Edit mixer options Panel. The dusty power cord hiding the 'made in italy' text and the 'CAUTION risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or moisture' warning on the far right is a nice little touch. And some of the screws are stripped, with scratches along the mixing panel that really make you smell the hard aged plastic it would have been made out of in real life. Very nice.

That’s me bought it. So no more synths or effects for me, I’m all sorted. At least for the rest of the year....

😂
I'm still trying to resist...
I went to IK Multimedia's website to see every modules and it's (more than) clear that I've already got (more than) enough same FX that cost me a lot (Nembrini, Eventide, FabFilter, Tone Boosters, FAC, Sugar Bytes, Audio Damage, IFX Rack... etc. 🙈🙈🙈)... but still it is so tempting to discover another "toy" ! 🤪😩😁

LinearLineman

There are no presets for strings or brass. The orphans of iOS. Any suggestions how to build chains for these acoustics? @ikmultimedia... any thoughts on this?

shinyisshiny

@LinearLineman try synth and keys presets, they can transfer well at times. for compressor settings i would try slower release and attack times for more sustained string and brass sounds.
