The min, max, average time and std deviation. The CPU Profile section reports to you how long a plugin took to process everything. The DAW needs the data in time so it only cares about the latency. So if your DAW is set to a buffer equating 1ms, a processor that can do 100 calculations in 1ms is more valuable than a processor that can do only 10 in 1ms, but 500 in 2ms. The DAW only cares about how much time it has.ĭAWs don’t use ‘real’ CPU usage because it’s complex to do, and because it doesn’t matter how fast the computer can process audio, it only matters if the data arrives in time. It doesn’t actually care about how much CPU is being used. So if it took 2ms to process the project and it has 2.9ms to complete the whole buffer then it will report 69% CPU usage (2 / 2.9). Most DAWs report CPU in terms of ‘how much time is left’. So if you are at 44,100hz sample rate and your buffer is 128 samples, the DAW has 2.9 milliseconds (128 / (441000 / 1000)) to process everything. Everything has to be done in that number of samples.

That chunk is what you setup as a ‘buffer size’ in Mixbus. Plugins now can show a CPU usage profile, and it’s done correctly.ĭAW’s process everything in chunks. This might be my personal favorite feature in Mixbus 5. When those get sorted then I think it’ll add some functional value to the Mixbus 32c package for new users.

It’s a great addition for people that don’t have a bunch of VST plugins already, but some of the current bugs make it annoying to use.

Typing in values doesn’t work at all for me.

The knob indicators are difficult to read.

Once they’re gone then you need to use the knobs or resize the graph area to get them back.

You can move the graphical band nodes outside of the screen.

The sides are shaded which makes the A and B bands sometimes look disabled at a glance.

This means constantly screwing around with it only to just see the peaks (and often not see the whole picture if you want it)

The Analyzer only shows you about 18db at a time, and you have to manually tune it.

(Though, if you don’t have anything yet, it’s very welcome) That is great, but it’s nothing that you can’t get with products from other makers. The bell bands can get very, very narrow. It makes the “search and destroy” workflow a bit easier. There’s a “search” band that turns the current band in to a bandpass filter with boost capabilities. The analyzer is similar to x42 EQ in that it is both fast and it has high resolution in the low bands. They allow steeper slopes than bands 1-5 in the high/low-pass modes. Maybe the original EQ worked like that, but come on.īands A and B are only high/low-pass or bells. Each band has a specific range that it can be moved between. It operates basically like any digital EQ except with some limitations.

I can’t say if it sounds like the original Series 10 EQ, but I can say that it doesn’t seem to be anything special. The GUI looks quite nice, but how does it fair? This is the plugin version of the Series 10 digital equalizer that works fully with control surfaces.
