Description

Limitless sonic options, now for iPad

MixBox CS packs 8 (upgradeable up to 77) award-winning mixing processors and creative effects into a convenient 500-series style iPad app.

Create, compare and save your own custom channel strips or multiFX chains, or choose from over 600 presets (with the Full version) to give your creativity a kickstart. Whether in your favorite host app or stand-alone, MixBox CS combines a massive range of effects and powerful workflow to supercharge your mixes.

Every processor offers immaculate sound, from powerful digital effects to warm, authentic physical models of classic analog gear. Divided into Amps, Channel Strips, Delays, Distortions, Dynamics, EQ, Filters, Modulations, Reverbs and Saturations, it’s easy to find just what you need. Derived from IK’s award-winning T-RackS, AmpliTube and SampleTank products, they offer the same professional sound quality in a convenient, portable app.

All processors can be inserted anywhere in the chain and are easily interchangeable. Each one comes with helpful controls and features for better mixing, production, and sound design.

MixBox is AUv3 compliant to work seamlessly with other music production and recording apps. It offers a freely configurable rack with slots for up to 8 processors, plus independent gain and mix controls, plus a sidechain control for dynamics processing*.

Standalone, MixBox is perfect for live mixing, allowing you to set up to 8 separate racks, each with up to 8 processors. Combine and assign these to your audio device’s inputs/outputs, adjust each one’s gain and level, and you’ll have a massive digital FX rack with up to 64 simultaneous FX. It includes a selection of built-in audio demos to use as reference tracks to audition any of the modules and presets.

To get you going quickly, MixBox CS offers a presets library containing more than 25 presets. By upgrading to the full version, you will unlock a comprehensive library of more than 600 presets covering everything from live mixing to sound design, for both individual processors and whole chains. You can also create and save your own presets for each individual module, the full rack, and even the whole app’s global state as a song.

With MixBox, you can enjoy supercharged mixes and FX, wherever you are.

High quality, amongst the best for iOS

The large range of fx available here feel and sound more like high quality hardware equivalents than most other fx available for iOS.

The price is largely justified, and a absolute steal when it goes on sale.

The only criticism I have, which is more a feature request, is that it would be so great to be able to modulate parameters within the app, via simple LFOs, just to give more life and animation to certain effects which cry out for this.

Logic Pro NOT officially supported.

After a back and forth with IK concerning an intermittent problem where state settings involving multiple instances of MixBus AU3 are NOT being saved, I received the following.

‘Thank you; we will pass this information on to our testing teams; however we should note; while Logic Pro can utilize the AU version of Mixbox; we are currently not supporting that particular mobile DAW but this guidance may have changed.’

So IK’s not inexpensive app is unsupported on Apple’s flagship DAW. Either Apple are unaware of this, or neither company wants to take responsibility. Yet both are happy to take customers money. Presumably on the basis of ‘it might work, but nobody is willing to guarantee that. Buyer beware.’

It’s disappointing. Since I’ve had Logic Pro for iPad MixBox has become my most used plug-in. But now I discover that neither company feels obliged to make sure it actually works! IK’s lack of support, therefore, should be clearly stated up front so that prospective customers do not buy a product for use with Logic, expecting it to work and any bugs to be squashed in timely fashion.

Abandonware

Caution , abandonware on IOS

Edit : so after contacting IK they said there was going to be an update for the save issue, 6 months later nothing.

Want to buy the full version , but at the moment I won’t, as when you save you get no option to type in a preset name. You can make new folders but it won’t let you name a preset file. The only option is to save and it calls it ‘preset’ If you go to delete a preset it will , but as soon as you touch the preset name window afterwards the app closes / crashes. Glad I didn’t pay out for the full version , frustrating as it is excellent.
