We also had some longtime customers who had the 32 series console and the knew exactly where you were supposed to turn those knobs to make it happen, they kept asking us to make that 32 series EQ. People knew about that 32C EQ and wanted it to be in MixBus. When we came out with that it was a huge success, but there were people who said well cool, but I have to have the harrison 32C sound. A simplified EQ and compressor and we made and introductory level audio workstation that has all the features that you could want but it also has a Harrison mixer in it.
We launched a product called MixBus about 5 years ago and that was a workstation that allows you to cut, copy, paste, import and export, it has all those things in it and we customized the mixer to have our channel strip. They say it’s all about the recording and it is, it’s all about the musician of course that’s more important than the gear you use, and when I listen to that selection of things, I really do hear a sound to that. I listen to all those records and I hear a sound. I can tell you from some of the better documented ones that a lot of the Queen stuff, Another One Bites the Dust, Sade’s Sweetest Taboo Album, Michael Jackson stuff, Thriller and Bad, and then you’ve got AC/DC’s Back in Black. You’re taking the same piece of gear and with a button push using it twice. The inline console is basically the tape machine inserted into the middle of the console path and you can either monitor the playback from the tape machine or you can monitor the microphone in the room. Harrison came up with this concept called an inline console, the basic idea being instead of having a fader for the microphone which feeds into a tape machine and comes back through another mix board, he decided you could save space and do a lot of cool tricks, share a lot of electronics, and get dual use out of your console. He kicked off his own company, took a prototype around the world and pitched the idea in the 70’s. Geoff decided not to manufacture that and that irritated Dave enough that he wanted to go make it himself. He had a really cool idea for mixing consoles that would make things go faster and smoother in the studio, it was intended to be made up of the new syncable machines you’d have not just 16 but 24-32 tracks recording at a time, so he developed the Harrison 32 Series console (he actually took the idea to Geoff Harnett).

He also had a company called Studio Supply and he would go build studios and install these MCI consoles and tape machines. Harrison was the designer for some of later MCI console models. Dave Harrison was collaborating with Geoff Harnett and they were building MCI consoles. I’ve been here about 15-16 years, which is a long time to work somewhere but short in the scheme of things. I came in relatively late in the Harrison company. I can’t wait to learn more about MixBus and how it can help you make your best record ever. I am super excited to be joining you from right here at the Harrison Console Factory in Nashville TN.

During that time he's been part of many product launches, both large and small.īefore Harrison, Ben worked at a commercial audio company called IED, where he developed custom audio software for clients as varied as NASA, Fort Knox, and Caesar's Palace. MIXBUS is the first full-featured DAW with true analog style mixing.īen has been at Harrison for over 15 years, which puts him right in the middle of the Harrison family with some of the employees having been with the company since the very beginning in 1975. Where other DAWs might use a computer paradigm, MIXBUS grows from Harrisonʼs distinguished 40-year heritage of platinum records, such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Paul Simon’s Graceland, and the blockbuster film Spider-Man to name a few. Harrison also makes a unique digital audio workstation, The MixBus32C, following an analog paradigm that embodies form, function, and sound.
